The Cypress Sea's last trip will be Sunday

.... Your Just a Little guy.....

(... in a Joe Pesci, goodfellas tone...) Are you calling me tiny, casting aspersions on my manlihood? Are you saying I'm hung like...

I know you're kidding Jim, but I couldn't resist. With my class load I'm hardly able to get down there enough to be considered a charter operation anyway.

Besides, what I lack in size, I make up for in speed. :shocked2:

Well, Silver Prince is now available, a month ago I had never heard of it, lose one, gain one?

I think the Silver Prince has been around longer than any of the
other Monterey dive boats. Certainly longer than the Cypress Sea.
The only one that MIGHT have been around longer is the Beach
Hopper II.

Heck. the SP has even sunk once.

Is/was there ever a Beach Hopper I?

Well that's comforting

That is very sad! I did my first Monterey dive off the Cypress Sea.

There used to be a Beach Hopper ran by Marin skin diving. Thats as far as I know.

Wow, My first dive in the Monterey area was off the Cypress Sea with Phil at the helm.
come to think of it so was my last boat dive.
Sad day indeed.
I'm sure going to miss that boat.

Hey Chuck,

What do you mean, "SP sunk once"?

 

[Chuck Tribolet]

I THINK (I could be very wrong on this) that the Beach Hopper I was a
pontoon boat. At any rate, somebody was running a pontoon boat in the
days before the Cypress Sea raised the bar.

SP sunk once means the Silver Prince sank at the dock in Stillwater Cove.
IIRC, they had a raw cooling water hose failure in the north end of Carmel
Bay, and made it to the dock in Stillwater before it sank. It's shallow there
and they had refloated in a day or two, but it was out of service for several
months and was under new ownership and no longer silver when it came
back.
