Scuba Forum / General / November 2004Popeye's Trip Report.
Me and Dennis went diving, in the ocean and everything. With a boat, even. It was pretty cool. Now, back to out regularly scheduled program. Popeye The Greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he didn't exist. Kaiser Sose > It was pretty cool. Maybe if you left the flares, or the cellphone on the boat, you guys could have a way-cool dive. Well, maybe not...

The very best part was the guy from out of state that showed up with 100% rental gear, no watch, no computer. We were diving an old bridge span that had been dumped 4 miles out in the Gulf. After the pre-dive brief, the guy (my new dive buddy) turns to me and says: "There was a bridge out here?" I turned to him without missing a beat and said "Yeah, but it was one-way".

Must have been of bavarian descent. A bavarian girl stood at the pier in Camaret and wondered were the water had gone. After being told it was low tide, she asked, "is this to happen every day?"

Me and Kimber are figuring out our plan. I may have to be in Houston for three weeks for Halliburton, haven't figured that one out yet. It's not easy getting human contact out of their human resources group. Maybe she can drop me on the way by. We're working up a Florida gig, but it looks like we may drink more than dive. It's in the air! We'll keep ya posted. Popeye The Greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he didn't exist. Kaiser Sose > We're working up a Florida gig, but it looks like we may drink more than > dive. It's in the air! We'll keep ya posted. Screw him, keep me posted. Jayna says your room is ready. BTW, Limey and I are taking a ride up the coast Sunday night to meet up with Grumman581 and, a couple of other people you know for one of those fresh water dives Curtis keeps talking about. We'll see if he's telling the truth about the curative effects of fresh water on corroded regulator parts. I suspect my Durango will hold one more without doing too much damage to my milage. Interested? E-mail for logistics or just because you can. I'd call, but I find my last number for you is in Tennessee. You're not.

Inches of visibility is God's Country? I don't think so. You have to come down to get to God's country. You used to live here. Just because it's populated by the Devil's spawn does not mean it can't still be God's Country. Lee > > sh.t, we are glad when the vis lets us see the hand at the end of our arm. > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > populated by the Devil's spawn does not mean it can't still be God's > Country. It aint inches. Its at least 2.5 feet at worst. You wanna talk buddy skills and air drills? The highest hill there is less than 300 feet. I know people with driveways higher than that here. If you come up in the fall or winter, the vis is awesome. The water is coldest in the spring, when the snowpack melts. 36 to 40 is not uncommon for the top 15 feet. But, then you punch on through to the lower thermocline, and it warms up to a balmy 46 to 48, maybe 52 in some spots. We got 16 to 20 foot octopus that are breeding or on eggs, which makes 'em kinda edgy. Loads of fun. Plus, we have a really old whorehouse, with a bar full of hippies to frequent. Ask Kimber. <cough > It aint inches. Its at least 2.5 feet at worst. You wanna talk buddy skills > and air drills? 2.5 ft visibility?

Yes it is. > The water is coldest in the spring, when the snowpack melts. 36 to 40 is > not > uncommon for the top 15 feet. There are only three water temperatures possible, warm, cold, too cold. Your water never gets above the too cold level. > We got 16 to 20 foot octopus that are breeding or on eggs, which makes 'em > kinda edgy. Yeah, I know. They're cool. We have about a dozen varieties of eel, a million or so varities of fish and enough different kinds of sharks to keep things interesting. > Plus, we have a really old whorehouse, with a bar full of hippies to > frequent. We have really new whorehouses. Much more fun . . . if you're into that sort of thing.

Is a hur-ra-cane-a blowing? Not a speck of light is showing. So the danger must be growing. Are the fires of hell a-glowing? Is the grisly reaper mowing?! YES! THE DANGER MUST BE GROWING!

I will hold you to that -- and next time we need to actually go diving and show me how great the diving I have missed out up there in the great Northwest.
