Well...here's how it went down:
Buddy and I decided we needed to go get some quality diving in. We had originally chartered a registered 6-pack OUPV boat out of Bangor, but he had to cancel. So, we rented a portable compressor for tank fills instead (used the cigarette lighter output in the car and this worked great), decided to use our monofins (ok, but a real pain to back kick with), and ran our guidelines WAY out. I hope no one minds that we didn’t collect them back (figured someone else would be along soon enough).
Oh, yeah…..there was this real STROKE diver gearing up there (can’t remember his name, but I think his handle is ‘[sarcasm]xxx'[/sarcasm]here on the board) and he said to say hi to everyone (note: edited username per request).
So, as we made our way out across the fairway to the jetty (we went for lingcod via hand spear fishing: the kind you do with only a knife), some guy in a boat just about ran us over. Ok I guess (YOLO!), but hey, if you see this: sorry that we got in your way bro.
Didn’t get any fishes (*sigh*: the only ones we saw were bluegills), but we did pee through our valves onto the parking lot when we were done.
