Wow that's some pile I suppose of many many piles
Wow I painted my first pushbike purple, that purple

Hope you're getting all the local support and reassurance you require and continue to get the job done

86 Scubaboard thread visits and nothing to say maybe don't have many urchins to share between them

If I were able to be there, then hey I would be there

Huge man!



Thank you Eric from the bottom of my heart


By the way the guy the one that crawled out on his knees and stayed on his knees is he still on his knees

We'll have to speak to tursiops about fixing that

I have never had Uni. Are the purple urchins good for that?

 

[Eric Sedletzky]

Yes they are delicious, but the roe is small compared to the larger reds.
Right now they are fattening up nicely and they will be spawning soon. Now is the time to get them.

Yeah that dude!
A lot of them crawl out on their knees. There are lots of slimy boulders in the area where it’s waist deep that would normally be a good place to get your fins off, but it’s not. You can risk breaking an ankle or a knee or a leg when a wave comes up from behind you and you’re trying to step in the low areas and not on top of a rock covered in slime. I’ve seen too many people get banged up.
That dude was in the water already for 2-1/2 hours with that steel 120 and was exhausted and cold wearing a 7mm wetsuit and no BC! How dare he!! That’s a huge felony around here. No BC, wet/steel, 7mm in 50 degree water, wow! what a deviant, a pariah!
But we’re TOUGH!! We can handle it.
It’s all about the purps man, I want to see numbers, and I don’t care how you get it.
