The calm before the storm .... I sent some time filleting large amounts of yesterdays catch, making other dishes & general sorting of the garden in preparation for tonight's party... we have around 20 hungry dehydrated divers and another 10 or so guest arriving for tonights prize giving and drinking 70s theme party!
Of course they are diving at the moment so there will be more filliting to do....!!

Guys - photos from this eve will be out tomorrow.

I have to say I'm proud, humbled and honoured to have shared time together the past 4 years as the official DeeperBlue.com event in the UK. The passion and love felt by all is shone through and has struck me every year.

Whilst the event will go on under the guidance of @foxfish and Sarah I will cherish the memories and hope to see you all for a dive somewhere in the world.

I cannot sign off without saying a massive, massive thank you to @foxfish and Sarah for all they have done and for the immense energy, effort and money poured behind this event every year. For those that don't know they choose to do this because of the love for the community not because I or any asks them too, without them both this event would be lost and on a daily basis these forums would be lost without @foxfish.

Next time I look forward to joining you all in the water!

Love and happy spearing to you all!

Well that was a great night!
We got up this morning to find a nice sole, in a bag by Sarah's car!
I am guessing someone went night diving? Anyway it in the fridge & if not claimed will be consumed in short order.....

Sadly this was the last Deeper Blue sponsored meet, but great to hear that Martyn and Sarah will be organising another Guernsey “Fish in” in 2016.
Thanks to Stephan of Deeper blue, for sponsorship, the Jersey Boys look fwd to diving with you next year.
A huge thank you to Martyn and Sarah for their hard work and tremendous hospitality.
Best wishes to all who took part, and The Jersey Boys look forward to seeing everyone again in 2016

Big thanks from me to Stephan, Martyn and Sarah. Great weekend, paying for it today!! See you next year.

 

[foxfish]

You and me both Dan.... two bottles of tequila drunk (mainly by the Jersey guys) & a very long list of other alcoholic beverage.
We have kept a record of what was consumed to make it easier for us next year but whether we can produce 27lb of fillets next year we will have to see?
Interesting to note that 30 people consumed around 25lb of boneless fillets (there were a few left uncooked) so that is 13oz per person.
I wont work out the alcohol per person but we need more Roquette cider as that disappeared very quickly!

Only made it for one day but what a great day it was, many thanks to Martyn and Sarah for their fantastic hospitality. Cheers to Stephen for his help and to Andy and Chris for those amazing scallops.
Fantastic news we can start looking forward to next years meet

Our intrepid scallop boat captain.

Scalloping for 30 people is serious stuff...

Waiting with my scalloping buddy Angelo for Andy to surface.

The end result.

@Trelawney - add the photos as full size buddy as difficult to see in thumbnail form
