    I got a new Drysuit!

    Yippee! I still have my TLS 350 but really wanted the self-donning, durability and insulating properties of a CF200 and now I have a brand spankin' new one. Can't wait to use it this weekend. I found a really great scallop bed last weekend (10 pounds of scallop meat in two dives) and I'm on a mission!

    Sorry to spout here but my non-divers friends just don't get it All they care about is the seafood.


    P.S. No, I don't remember where it was or how to get there. I blindfolded myself and drove in circles for a while so that I would be disoriented. I also made myself shut off the GPS so I couldn't mark it
    Eagerness does not always equate to ability but it sure makes rescuing you interesting .

    Way to go on the suit. Do you have any pics to at least tease us with? My favorite way to cook the scallops is right in one half the shell with lobster and butter with bread crumbs mixed with a touch of brown surgar with bacon strips on top. Enjoy.
    See you in the water~~~~~Steven

    Sounds yummy!

    The weather early Saturday morning wasn't that great (rain, fog, 50 degrees). We were more interested in getting the shucking done than taking some pic's. Besides, I wouldn't let myself take any since I might be able to figure where exactly we were I promise though that I will sneek a camera on board this Sunday if I go.

    I look back on the video now and get all misty eyed. The two of us in our (not) drysuits on New Years Day. Memories... memories

    Heh heh. Yeah...I definately won't miss 34 degree water trickling down my leg. It kinda felt like pee, only 60 degrees colder.

    Maybe that's why I thought my drysuit leaked

    Now that you mention it, the "leak" always felt warm and my suit sure was stinky after a dive. You can't pee in a drysuit? Crud! Why did I need to buy a new one then?

    I was so jealous of you and GaryD

    that I had to get one for myself. I haven't modified it yet but a pee valve is high on the list.
