Caribbean storms come in fast. Ten to twelve inches of rain in as many minutes formed miniature lakes across low-lying roadways and parking lots in the coastal town of Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela. All of a sudden the driving across town went from an exercise in machismo to an adventure in watersports. Watching the urban swells lap up onto plaza shores I almost wished I had a wakeboard with me.
That was yesterday afternoon. Today its back to hot and sunny, perfect weather in anticipation of Carlos Coste and Stig Severinsen's freediving world record attempts in Variable Weight and Constant No Fins tomorow morning. Both Athletes have achieved their depth prerequisites and are in good spirits.
The lines are stretched and measured. Safety briefings have been held and all that remains are final athlete and organizer meetings to go over the schedule and proceedures one more time.
I can't wait.

No snow here yet, will keep you posted though.
