Big THANKS to the Cali Contingent

Did you guys see ALL THE STUFF Onokai and Linda brought up?? Holy Moly! But, man, was it worth it. Those pictures and video clips were amazing. Made me want to go diving again. Well, except for the swarms of sharks circling overhead or banging into the cages. Yikes!

And Duncan, poor Duncan, held captive on Englund's dock, showing us "less-than-coordinated-ones" how to wrap up and throw a cast net. That's pretty fun, although I doubt I could make a living selling live bait.... But no kidding, there's some good techniques that really make it work, and there's more to it than just getting that perfect circle out there. Poor guy thought he was never gonna get away.

Thanks, guys, and thanks to the wives and kids who came along and waited them out.

BTW Mark, DipSea Diver and her sister REALLY like their cups. Very nice.

All I can say is WOW. Thank you Mark, Linda, and Duncan for making the long drive. The convention was so much better because of your efforts. Many of the oohs and awes during the underwater slide show where mine...

Yes, thanks Mark!! You definitely went above and beyond with your donations AND bringing up the slide shows and movies. Nice talking to you, see ya again next year, but hopefully even before that during tuna season. If you don't want to pull your boat up, I know where you can get a ride out fishing--and back in too!!

Mark, Jr. uas not taken a beverage without using the mug you gave him... He sure loves it.

I gotta say that slide show was fantastic! Makes me want to get back under the water...

Thank you so much for all you contributed to this event. I sure hope to share more time ON the water with you... Hope to hear from you soon...

Thanks for coming up and all that you put into the Convention.
The "Glazed Tuna on a Cable" were one of the high points of the Raffle again. Hope to see you up here in more fishy circumstances.
