Going up North in November!

[Robert Phillips]

We did three awsome dives yesterday. I can't thank these guys enough for the great time I had on Oe2x's boat.
Overexposed2x, Bob, Uncle Pug and Tbone, thanks for showing me some great sites and the GPO's.
Yes, the free ascent was fun! Pug took care of us though. He looked like he was having a fun ride on the line!
Most of the pictures I took look like they were the very first for me (which they were!) Although some of them are decent, most are blurry and have lots of backscatter.
I most likely will not be able to get any more dives in while I am here unfortunately. But I will be back, and I will be back to dive!
Thanks again guys for the awsome day of diving!
Robert

It's always an adventure Robert. If the conditions themselves don't make it an adventure then we throw in something to make it one.

Hey, I had a great time. Next time we'll work on your GPO feeding technique. You have to hold the crab near the hole and wait for the Octo to come out of it's den. When it wraps it's arms around you, you give it the crab. Hopefully for you it likes crabs and not divers.

I wish I could join you, but a head cold I have been fighting is finally winning. Things were good yesterday, but when I woke up this morning I knew I was done with diving for the week.
If I make it up here next year I will take you up on that offer!
Again, it was a pleasure.

You are indeed the legend that you have been made out to be!
You should make us call you Sensei!
Thanks again!

Well, the octos we have down in Cali you can pull out of their dens if you want to feed them. It is rare that you can actually climb into their dens like you can up here. If I can't hold it in one hand, I would rather not have it holding me in one arm!
The spouse is still contemplating the move up north. I would love to be a local up here, if not only for the diving, but the produce section at the local Haggen!
As I said in my reply to Bob's post, I hope to make it up here again next year. I would love to dive with you guys again.
Thanks for the great day!

The pleasure was ours. Let us know when you want to come up.

Well then ... it's a pity we didn't get to show you some of the big ones ...

Next time ...
