How do you pass the Winter?

[joe123321]

Hunting just seems cruel to me. I would never do it. I even feel bad for the fish when i catch them.

No matter It's still a valid conversation. Our winter started very suddenly. The normally mild Central Valley is going through a cold snap. The farmers are worried that they're going to lose the citrus crops.

Sadly I'm spending my winter working 6/week and trying to hold the house and yard together on Sunday. Certainly makes the vacations appreciated, though!

 

[Fondueset]

I dive all winter. Regardless.

If I can’t spear I’ll be out on the boogie board and if I can’t do that I’ll be at home climbing the walls.

Run 40 km/week+.

Been way, way too long since I went diving. I'm hoping to start running soon, as soon as my toes heal

I normally spend winter here on the beach Its the best time of year! rofl It's too hot in the summer to sit outside.

HOWEVER, we are actually having rain storms at the moment, which is going to make the rugby today very mushy and wet. We have had clouded skies for the last week, and spitting rain, and last night we actually had a thunderstorm.

Looks that way again today

But after a bucket of beer or two at the rugby we should be warm It's going to be a high of 22degC today.

THAT'S COLD FOR THE DESERT

Well, my son-the-chef's girlfriend wants him to write a cookbook to be called How to Gain 20 lbs Before Winter: the bear's pre-hibernation cookbook and I'm thinking about helping him with the text. It's a not-very-sly dig at all the cream sauces and rich desserts he's been feeding all the roommates. At least it will keep me busy . . .

My sis and I were planning a road trip, but it ain't going to happen with the weather as it is. Oh well...I guess there's always spring break.

mmmm that smells of Xmas Sarge

My Xmas will be smelling of fish... as spending the 27th-30th December with Miles and his wife.. lucky me!!

 

[BatRay]

Wow, that sounds like fun. Are you going to go spearfishing?

 

[island_sands]

Hope so Nothing like getting a lesson from the Titan of Tuna!

 

[BatRay]

Very, very awesome. You'll have to give a trip report on that.

 

[fcallagy]

aside from the pool and maybe the odd dive as i just did a nitrox course and need to rack up a few dives on it weather permitting i will be surfing tomorrow all going well. haven,t been on the board in over a year so should be a bit of a laugh and i wasn;t that good a year ago anyway. water temp is about 12 c i guess

 

[Fondueset]

Wow! we had a huge blizzard yesterday. They closed work early and I barely made it home. Just finally got plowed out. It's a bit windy but clear and sunny - thinking about going for a dive

 

[flyboy748]

Snowing here today too, although nothing like what you've got there Chris!

Just finished helping Doug Sitter (one of our FreediveToronto club members) train for the World Championships in Egypt a couple weeks ago in the cold murky waters of Lk. Ontario, about a week ago I got in some fantastic diving in Bermuda, and I'm hoping to be able to dive somewhere sunny and warm soon. It looks like I'll be in the Grenadines (work again) for about 10 days over Christmas and New year's, and if so you can bet I'll be diving daily

Cheers all,
Aaron
