General Custer had a hard time getting down again.

We followed John, who stopped the group frequently, to the barge.

We went through the opening in the barge as we usually do, except someone hung back – maybe the ex-private student?

Coming back in, Kathy – the mother – was dragging.

I could tell she was very tired.

I started to get flash backs of dealing with Leeza (see dive #146).

Her daughter Paris swam over and they started holding hands; sort of cute.

We all got out with no problems.
