Dont let that arm dangle Rick

Post by Norris »

In case anyone finds it on one of those fun Deception pass drift dives. Last yesterday I did the pass and while moving along with the Puget Sound current, some rocks grabbed my light arm and yanked it off my camera. Now it is a simple arm with one CK light on it and if found I would love to have it back, and yes I already have planned how to carry my rig so this doesnt happen again...

i read the title and thought this was one of those "remember how the bus driver always told you not to stick your arms out the window?" stories.

If the offending appendage is now gone why would you need to hold it any differently? Isn't the appendage no longer a snagging hazard? :smt064

Thanks nwbobber. I didn't want to say anything. It will take a while though...

But cool thing is, now my phone has placed nwbobber into the "accepted as legitimate words that rick uses, list

I would like to think that it is just sitting there in the fetal position, sobbing and hoping to come back home.

Depends on the current direction when it was lost, but either around Olympia, or headed to Japan would be my guess.
