Only getting "wet" in the shower in Holland

[Thunder Bay Minnow]

Be forewarned dive shops of Holland. When you see a “big guy” ( 6’3” 300+lbs.) walk in on Saturday with an odd grin. Don’t be afraid!!!!! It is only a guy from Alpena highly infected with cabin fever!!!!

I am going to be in Holland this weekend for a family event and plan on stopping in at a couple of the local dive shops and check them out while there.

Let’s see…..Ocean Sands in open 10-5 on Saturday and Adventures in diving…….Whoops!!!! DAMN THOSE WINTER HOURS!!!! Don’t blame them.

So anyone I am missing?

I also call on your assistance. My wife, a MUCH smaller blonde, may be accompanying me. She has expressed an interest in learning to dive. I, in no way want to pressure her. I only ask that if she accompany me, if you could possibly share some of your diving experiences. She is having a bit of a confidence problem. Honestly, if she can handle me, she can handle anything.

If you want to have a bit of fun, her name is Staci. Pull a Cheers thing and greet her “Hey Staci” first.

See ya Saturday!!!

I thought you meant Holland as in The Netherlands and was going to suggest you have this moved to the European forums. Fortunately I know enough about Midwestern geography to know there is a Holland, Michigan!

After buying some new dive gear you should head over to the New Holland Brewery for a real "Cheers" experience. Looking at your measurements you may be able to fill the role of Norm.

One question are you 6foot 3inches or 7foot 3inches.........>

Why?
Don't you believe Jeff is 67' 3" tall?
I've never known him to lie, but maybe a typing class might be in order.

Life is too short, enjoy yourself Thunder Bay Minnow!

Alright!!!! A brewery!!!!!

I found out the place we are staying doesn't have a lounge.

Damn!

6'3" Sorry and corrected.

On your drive over from Alpena you should stop off at Founder's Brewery in Grand Rapids. Very nice deco stop. Or if coming a very roundabout way, go through Bellaire and stop by Short's Brewery and Traverse City Brewery in TC. I know, I know they are really out of the way. However, if you think about it, they are not that far out of the way and there are a few dive shops up there.

I think I have covered most of the ones north of M-55.

Still, great suggestions!!

If you are really bored, come on down to Benton Harbor and visit "Wolf's Dive Shop" and marine supply. There is a brew pub called the "Livery" (a former stable) a couple of blocks away. You can also stop in to "Larks" and get your car hand washed while you have some of the best bar b que you will ever find.
