The Master Liveaboard BBQ Nothing but Fun!

If you watched the email or checked the calendar we has a really fun event. Mark and Alex, from Master Liveaboards, came into Houston for a visit and we all thought it would be fun to have a BBQ party in the backyard! And, that is exactly what we did.

The Menu for the evening included:

  • Indonesian Sambal Chicken,
  • Philippine BBQ Pork,
  • Sambal Tempe
  • fragrant rice,
  • grilled vegetables,
  • Green Beans steamed with with Thai chilies and lemon grass, and
  • Treebeard’s Butter Cake

Steve Jurbala, our own distiller, provided us with dome Boquerón Rum cocktails to go with the dinner menu.

Mark and Alex got the opportunity to tell some stories, talk about diving and invite people to go diving on one of their awesome dive vessels.

Want to see how the party went? Click on the video below…

Ghosts, Goblins, Brides , Oh My — Halloween in the Scuba Dive Facility

The Runaway Bride with Al
The Runaway Bride with Al

Water fell from the heavens all night and all morning, tornadoes whirled around the county, the flood waters rose but some hearty souls came to the dive store  to trick-or-treat and to pose for photos with Al.  And while the participation was a little light, we still had a good time.  The winner of the Oceanic Ventures Gift Certificate was a runaway bride, Cheryl White with Avalon Realty,  who is trying to leave with Al for a warm tropical location – look out Al!

Thank you to everyone who came by today.  It was fun.
