well I shot down to the shops I shot over to my parents place I shot some pics of a friends wedding unfortunately no fish the only time I saw fish was twice snorkeling the shalows with my gf and her son ( she dosent like me skewering them while shes around) but none of my other dive buddy's were available.
So who is up for some early mornig or afternoon dives (before or after work ) now that the days are long enough or saterdays are free for me

So I got my wish... went fishing Sunday cos the vis wasn't great and somewhere between the launch, the rain and the spray from the boat I managed to get very wet.
Though I will admit that I did deserve it on the launch for forgetting the cigarettes on the counter at the store... As far as success goes I've had better (much better) but as far as enjoyment goes it was up there with my Moz trip last year.

Managed to get a bit of a spear in on Sunday. I got 5 guys together and we took my family boat out (I inherited it at the end of last year when they all left the country). She's a dam boat. Literally
(though we've modified her for the ocean and spearo's)We had a jol while it lasted but then the motor quit on us for no apparent reason... and she'd just been serviced last week!! In all the years she's been in the family we've never ever had a problem with the motor. Things got interesting at this stage as the wind was blowing us on to the shore but we hollered for help and some fishermen came to tow us a bit out to sea where we anchored while we tried to sort things out. Needless to say, there was no sorting anything out. Dead as a doornail she was. We called NSRI for a tow back but nobody was answering the phones. Fortunately I have some friends at NSRI who we were about to start harrassing on their pleasant Sunday morning, duty or no duty, when another (bigger) boat of fisherman came up to us and offered us a tow back around the Bluff. On arrival back at the ski boat club we discovered there was some comp on... Imagine the highlight of our morning - being towed back to shore in the middle of a competition, people rushing up to the boat to see what we'd caught when in fact we weren't participating at all... The guys who towed us back were the most amazing people though. We offered them petrol or money or whatever they wanted for going so out of their way for us but they would have none of it. They simply unhooked us and went on their merry way. No doubt to try catch some more fish for the competition! Last edited by calliecal; January 26th, 2009 at 08:42.

hi Calli I hope you've learn t your lesson on secondary propulsion where were your oars or sail
 Is there anyone doing any spearing before work I'm keen to get in the water a bit more often but I'm a little hesitant to get in the water early bells by myself. Last edited by mupwi; January 26th, 2009 at 13:09.

Not at the moment, my weeks are hectic with orientation and registration at the varsity, there's not much time for anything else right now... Trying to promote the underwater club whilst doing my real job on campus is proving to be a juggling act second to none. Unfortunately getting to work on time is one of those things that just has to be done since I'm often ducking and diving during the day (pardon the pun, hee hee)
