Super! Thanks for providing the videos. Jim

Government can impose a 37.5% price hike at its will and there's little that can be done, even at the ballot box. RedBox just did a 25% increase but I can vote with my feet for their services.

Thanks for sharing the video Chris. The clarity and color are great! Good job at framing as well. Jim

Chris Thanks for posting. Sounds like you are making the most of your vacation! Jim

Cape Ann works for me, but weekdays better than weekends. Any interest? Jim

Glad you made it back to tell a cautionary tale to others that may have similar backgrounds. Calling a dive is never a bad decision. Back Beach and Old Garden Beach in Rockport are also good dive sports for getting acclimated. Jim

Looked like bugs everywhere! Where were you anchored?

I happy to read that everyone came through the experience okay. I can not understand why boat designers put in low-cut sterns that enable waves to break over them and flood the hull. The boat that left that large wake bears some responsibility for your mishap as well.

Great conditions today. The winds were minimal and from the SW and the tide was on its way out. While viz was a bit murky it wasn't worth a complaint. Many thanks to Jim Cook for being a great dive buddy and helping out an old timer. Looking forward to going again soon.

A couple of us are meeting at Burger King at 9 am and will head to OGB for shore diving. Anyone else who wants to join with us the more the merrier. Jim

Since I'm now retired I'm more available on weekdays. I'm from Chelmsford but can meet up at Burger King on Rt 128 on Cape Ann. Jim

What is the town charging for using the ramp in season nowadays? Jim

Good for you for helping the fellow out. Sometimes newbies try to fight the ocean and simply wear themselves out. There is usually a bit of a current running N->S at OGB but if you know to head out in the right direction then it is not a problem getting back in. My buddy and I helped several...

Good enough! Your entire concept sounds like a good way to go. Jim

Looks like a good setup. What do you do with regard to adding air to your BC or drysuit? Reminds me of the old days of manual inflation before power inflators came along. My horse-shoe BC even had a CO2 cartridge for emergency inflation. Jim

Do you use some kind of a long supply line to your regulator like a hookah rig? Jim

Your post was intriguing. Were you able to go and how did things work out? Although I have a SOT kayak, I've never tried diving from it. Where do you usually launch from? How does the gearing up process work? Thanks, Jim

Yes to all, though vendors had been getting scarce the last half dozen years or so. The new venue should be more convenient for many of us. Jim

Support the Bay State Council of Divers. Only way I know of that we can hope to keep some of this bureaucratic BS from making life miserable. Jim

BTW, your customer ID, from which your new numbers are derived, will change if you do not renew your license for a year. Happened to me. While you're on the site, if you're over 60 (sigh) you can get a free saltwater fishing permit. Just have to pay a processing fee which is less thatn $2...
