MEC sells BARE kayak suits that are almost exactly like the NEX-GEN scuba suits, so while I havent inspected their wrist seals for thickness there's a good chance you be getting a seal from same supplier as BARE gets. Some drysuit manufacturers offer different thickness seals anyway. The...

I thought that was the definition of american beer, ie f*****g close to water.....

Thats essentially it, he included Portugeuse Italian, Greek decent etc in that definition as well, farmhands to brikkies to fisherman (as long as they arent stealing Canadian fish). About a dozen years ago I was taking part in the year end AMA/CCS races at Daytona, the Biketoberfest races...

You should hear Don Cherry's definition of a redneck.... he certainly doesnt consider it an insult

My first post here in a while as I too (like many on this page it seems) only read the posts on OFWF and this last week has been a writeoff. At least the deleted post was all in one post which was easily ignored, locking the freaks out did little to improve the situation as the topic is still...

Happy Birthday DG !!!!!!!!! Wish we would of realized this at the restaurant :D ....

Did anyone catch the report on 'discovery canada' about the two Navy ships who did the sidescan work earlier this summer ? There were threads on it few months back when it happened but I caught a few minutes of it last week sometime on the box. For all the U boat hunters willing to hop the...

I've never complained during any of my extra visits except for the time they took OVER AN HOUR with my passport and I was left standing and forgotten in the secondary check. It's really not my fault that Canada doesn't keep proper master copies of UK issue 1999 passports at its largest hub, they...

I'll concur with that, I'm a dual UK/CDN citizen and I've never had a really bad experience with US customs . I'm upwards of 50 or more crossing over the years from different ports of entry, New York Michigan Boston Maine Miami Atlanta and a few others, met a few less than jovial officers but...

Last time I was on the Sligo (about a month ago) there was only a javex jug submerged a few feet beneath the surface, even with GPS it took us a few minutes to locate the line. The DM I think mentioned there was a proper buoy on the line at some point in its tenure but not last month.

Thanks all for a great weekend. DivingGal and Finsolo for being great buddies, Divedude for being a great captain , Spike and the gang at NTD for all their great services and advice and all the freaks making it a great weekend. Plus Mother nature held off at the right times so thanks to her too.

Assuming all goes according to plan I hope to be in the big K by 5.00pm friday. I'll have the missus n rugrat en tow so any place I go that evening will have to be able to let toddlers in. Finch n Chimps at Tommy's sounds good once again assuming they let in little monsters. I'm up for some...

I was diving there today and spoke with a couple of the South Simcoe Police who are in charge of the area. They had a partial ID on the boat and were searching the coast. One officer said that it was unfortunate that no law regarding diveflags exists and he also had taken the watercraft exam...

Is this it ? No mention of Scuba divers thou http://thenewvr.com/news/index.asp Boat Ride Ends in Tragedy It began as a leisurely summer afternoon boat ride on Lake Simcoe, but it quickly turned into a tragedy. Police say a boat carrying four people hit a wave and overturned on...

As far as I know the only true Arrow pieces remaining are what the Toronto Aerospace Museum have in their project (partial cockpit and assorted pieces, they are fabricating everything they dont have) and I believe one of the Nova Scotia aviation museums have one of the Iroquois engines but it is...

I agree on the idea well trained and equipped defense force thou I'm not adverse to using the services in times of crisis. We dont need 100s of main battle tanks but state of the art SAR equipment (ie new choppers) and the ability to transport our own troops would be a start. As for looters...

Toronto Aerospace Museum has been constructing a fullsize Arrow replica for 5 years now without any (or at least very little) taxpayers money. They're about 60% complete so far. Its located at former CFB Downsview on the other side of the runway from DRDC (aka DCIEM)
