Hi,

I used to post as freediverca here... never had a chance to meet up with anyone. Quick story got married, had a son and quit my previous career to move to Westport,CA in Mendocino County to start a small scale family farm, based on Permaculture principles.

We are in the process of getting the farm up and running with plenty to do as you might imagine. Currently we have a lot of young fowl around and are building up our infrastructure gearing up for next year.

Haven't done much fishing, kayaking or diving (free-diving or SCUBA) recently so it seemed a name change was in order. On other forums I have used justhavinfun and so it seems appropriate here as well.  My wife has always been my partner for everything but now with a two year old, it just is not possible. She is the wonderful and understanding type though......

So I am also looking for fishing/dive partners or general hookups in the area. So far none of the major events work out yet but I will make one soon. Since I have no formal job currently I can be available most days of the week for fishing or freediving with or without kayak given a few days notice in advance, sometimes I can drop everything too but it really depends on where we are on any given day. As stated above getting a farm up and running out on the edge of the wild is obviously time consuming but the call of the ocean is strong.
I am 40,  SCUBA certified and have been freediving for a lot of years though neither recently. I have kayaked rivers, lakes as well as the ocean though also not recently. I have just about all of the gear I need for kayaking/fishing/freediving and maybe even some to lend. I want to get into kayak crabbing also. At 40 with a wife, child and a farm to get up and running I am not a big risk taker anymore....but I am still up for anything reasonable.

Jeff
Originally I got into fishing to fish.

Wow to some of us it sounds like you're living the dream,, tons of effort I'm sure but from a 9-5 job indoors it sounds great from here.

I love the Ft Bragg area, and northwards is rough and beautiful.

Good luck in all of it.

It is tuff balancing all that you have going on.  Try to save some time for yourself.  You certainly live in a beautiful area.
