Hello Cliff,

Yes Caribbean - i am here... let us test the boat here !!!
I have a even better one - oceanic island malpelo colombia galapagos  
area - 60m water transparency - world biggest hammerhead and silky  
shark swarms - humpback whales and whalesharks every day - let us fly  
the thing there...

This is the same thing as if you have a red ferrari - will you drive  
it at fog in england? - no way!!!

Cheers Wil
