Although the water temperature was fine -- the 5mm spearo suit is proving to be more than adequate for UK winter & it also provided good protection from the rocks.
I bought some weights in Portland Oceaneering & got some good location suggestions, which will help shape future plans. Also got an invite to the next spearo BBQ, which sounds fun. Looks like they will be carrying Picasso equipment this year (along with the existing stock of cressi-sub & RA gear). They had a cool spearing DVD on -- should probably get one of those  need to get the DVD player working .[I believe they mentioned that a boat would be handy too!  I am noticing a pattern]. |
It's just like that one guy's signature on this board says: "it will take you to exotic lands, beautiful waters . . . ruin your marriage, drain your bank account"
Criminy. I should have gone to Southampton or Sussex or some university in Dorset instead of freakin' Essex. Better yet: I should have stayed home on the So. Cal. coast, chock full as it is with white sea bass, halibut, lobsters, calico and sand bass, leopard shark (they're absolutely delicious), lingcod, cabezon and more - at several different shore spots, all within less than an hour's drive from my parent's place. Life is retarded.
