One matter comes to mind....what do we do about parking?

Maybe we can drop gear at Hibiscus, then park down along Commerical - there are some municipal parking spots around 2 blocks from A1A. I've used them several times, and the walk's not too bad, especially with company.

BTW, I got my license yesterday, have full tanks, and am ready to get in the water around 2330 if you guys are! (I had to re-schedule a few things with work, but that seems to be working out okay.)

So, meet at Marvel's around 1100 pm, and in the water ~20 minutes later?

Grier,

Did you pay resident or non-resident fee for the license? I have to pay non-resident because I haven't been here 6 consecutive months!

 

[GrierHPharmD]

I paid resident - I pushed them at bit, and they looked up my SS# in their system, then approved it. Saved a few $.

I'm glad you got yours. Are you going this evening?

We decided to give the boat thing one more try. Anyway we've booked on Parrot Island's Fathoms O' Fun that departs the dock at 11:30pm tonight - show up at the dock at 11:00pm. There are still a couple of spots available as of this writing if anyone else wants to join us. Capt. Jerry guarantees he knows all the hot spots based on reports from the last few weeks.

Just be careful going in the water that early. State game officers are out in force, and if they even suspect you're snaring prior to midnight they'll be all over you tugging on your flag and generally hassling you. It happened to folks last year.

Given the popularity of the area you're diving, you might just want to wait until 11:50pm before hitting the water for a very visible surface swim, submerging at midnight.

Good advice - good luck this evening!

You too.

I decided to hedge my bets though and that's why the last minute change in plans. I wanted to actually catch something this year versus just having a nice dive.

Well, we've had a last minute change in plans of our own. Good luck tonight ya'll...I guess the babe and I will miss this mini-season :06:
