So sorry I cant go as I want to kick it Sitka style.

Well I suppose that this gives me the opportunity to step in. Much to my disappointment I haven't been back to SE since I brought a charter boat back from Ketchikan sometime in the late nineties. Anybody want to buy a LP-95 or two so I can have some walking around money and still be able to eat for the rest of the month?

Welcome back to SE... You pretty much count on selling those LP-95's - they're diver crack in AK.. How much you asking?

And let me know if you guys want to borrow some gear. I'm sure I can swing at least on harness with weights and probably some fins, regs, backpack etc... I'd offer you a light, but my light builder ripped me off and spent the money on booze and chics....

Dave I asked 1st now bro.....

Ok guys, I just posted the tanks. I have two more that just went out of their second hydro in September that I haven't dealt with yet. Keith thinks he can air ship them up for not too much. Feel free to PM and we can talk about the details.

I'm looking forward to meeting all of you.

Just finished a dive job in the harbor and viz was in the 30 ft. range. If you guys can get away from town at all you should be able to get 50+.

Way to go Dave we have mass room aboard ..

Whew, 5lbs to spare in my checked luggage if I carry on my light, BP/W, regs, etc. Looks like I might be able to bring up a light for somebody.

Oooooo? Who could that be for?
Maybe diver-dave will have two lights!

Chris dropped it off last night, not exactly for sale.

I just dropped the tanks at the air freight terminal.

Thanks for hauling my new light up Ross, Chris called me last night. I'll make it up to you somehow, maybe I can buy a few at the P.

I also fixed the switch boot on my old light, so if someone needs to save some weight, one of those lights will be free during your trip up.

Getting ready for the boyz arriving tom. night filling tanks 32degrees .. We need to bring someone up just to fill tanks so we can just dive and eat.....Option #2 would b Dmitchells banks...Smiles what size r them tanks there Dave?? Who's running the dive shop over there...

Looks like a nice day, hopefully the really snotty wx stays over in the Bearing Sea this week. I'm trying to make up my mind about which jacket to bring. Is the forecast for drizzle accurate or should I plan on hard rain?

But it must be easy to keep the compressor cool.

got 20 tanks filled 4 u guys so far...Sound is flat,sky is blue..Headed out to set shrimp pots for fresh shrimp for the boyz...

I used to set pots for spot prawns down here but the season kept getting shorter with smaller limits until pulling pots from 400' by hand wasn't worth it. I'm on my way to the airport now.

Shrimp pots set this morning....
