Divers believe that they are required to make sacrifices every now and then to appease the ocean god. A mask, a fin, or the ever popular dive knife dropping to the ocean floor is enough to guarantee calm seas, the lining up of fish for selection, and abalone which will respond to an ab whistle.
There must a ride god. We awoke at 4:30 a.m. to one of the most violent storms any of us had ever seen- Booming thunder which shook the hotel, flashes of lightening directly overhead, extremely high wind, and a down-pour of rain which flooded the parking lot and streets. But we had made our sacrifices to the ride god. A pair of chaps, a helmet, a gas cap, one GPS case and a weather cover all had been left somewhere alongside the highway. The rain was ahead of us to the south, heading to Brownsville, and we just followed the rain (and one tornado sighting) into town without a single drop hitting us. We went to the south end of town to the border crossing, and there took our second corner photo, and did our celebration dance. Yahoo! We then traveled to South Padre Island (thanks for the intel, Gil), to spend the night. A great day!
