Southern Boy visits Bean Town (trip report)

[trappist]

It has often been said if you can dive NE you can dive anywhere. Now you know why.

Funny... that is what I used to hear back in my place too but diving condition are much worse than here, and are not the worst you can have, I swear

Don't we want to have that exculsivity anywhere we go anyway ?

Cape Ann is still a realllllly good place to dive, I will miss it when I go back home !

Terrific report and wonderful pictures. Fun to read this morning with a nice cuppa Joe.

I was at Rockport yestaydah' and all I saw were tourists! Even bus loads of them. They must be shipping them in from somewhere? I didn't see too many of the Top-sider / shorts crowd. Or maybe I've just gotten used to them. Though I did see a couple of older guys sporting big SLR cameras with telephoto lenses swinging on a beer gut.

Next time to see some lovely girls you need to get out to some of the wonderful university campuses. Cambridge is a nice place to get a coffee and watch the world go by.

Cheers,

X

Great report. It's been many years since I was up (over?) that way, but I have a fond recollection of towing a boat trailer through Boston rush-hour traffic. It still ranks as one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.

There used to be a dive shop in Danvers where we were allowed to camp in their back yard. It was a great budget trip for we youngsters with limited resources.

Will be diving Cape Ann today! When I went to Jupiter, FL last winter, I dove with a 3mm, minimal gloves, and no hood. The locals had core warmers, 7mm, heavy gloves, etc. The water was 71 degrees. It is what you are used to. Excellent report. Hope you can come up again and have such a "terrible" time again soon!!

None of the bars had any good Bud Lite, so I had to choke down some micro-brew I.P.A. instead. I even met some Bostonian girls who still had all of their teeth.

Great dive report.... but whats that about the beer. Whats the differance between a good BUD LIGHT and a bad one. The micro -brew I.P.A. is the hearty beer that keeps the boys warm in these cold waters. I as for the bostonian girls, you obvoiusly weren't need any of the colleges, must have spent to much time in the tunnels of the T breathing fumes. Thanks for the report come back soon. Dave

When I first moved to West Viriginia, I had three rules for dating a girl:
1. She had to be smart
2. She had to weigh less than me
3. She had to have all over her teeth

After a couple of dry years, I changed my rules:
1. She didn't have to be smart, but she couldn't be dumb
2. She could weigh more than me, but bust size still had to be bigger than waist size
3. She had to have most, if not all, of her teeth

Fortunately I met a mountain girl who met all of my original criteria.

Oh, and BTW, we used to have the best I.P.A. in the world here in West Virignia, Appalachian Ale, but the brewery closed last year.

If your brewery closed from lack of support, maybe your local beverage store can import some good VT beer like Otter Creek or Magic Hat. Now was that bud light with or without a twist of lime ?
