Best of Mike #50

We've moved on, again, in our scuba travels ..... to Curacao.

2001 was a big dive year for us, a total of four trips that year.

There were also a couple of other big events that year. In August, we sold our McDonald's Restaurants. And in September, on the 11th to be exact, terrorists attacked America.

Sometime between those to big events we had booked a two part dive trip (Curacao and then Los Roques) celebrate the selling of the restaurants.

We left in mid October, so, post 9/11 travel restrictions had been lifted ..... but there was still not a lot of people moving around the world.

One of the sites we dove in Curacao was Bottle Bay.... named that because there are lots and lots of bottles both new and old, in a pile on the bottom.

Some are very old.... dating to the 1700s.

Why the bottles had been dumped there, I don't remember.... or maybe we weren't told because no one remembers.

But there were definitely lots of bottles down there.... all sizes, shapes and colors.
