I plan on ab diving. When depends on whether i end up heading out friday morning or evening, but you are welcome to dive with us. I would bet that there are quite a few folks thinking the same, so bring your gear!

General Talk / Re: Homebrewing advice wanted

Right On!  Great advice so far.  Try keeping a 'log' book of your batches.  It will come in handy to have real numbers when you try to tweak or recreate a beer two years down the road.

Nice Recipie.
i like the limu poke too
you can look for dried Ogo (seaweed) to add from the local asian market.
i wonder if you could substitute one of our seaweed varieties?

Awesome! I should have known. I thought i might have something to offer, but all the ones i love have been posted, and instead i gained some knowledge. I am quickly learning how great a resource the is the NCKA is!

My Favorites:
NOAA Eureka (http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/eka/)
GARLIC (http://www.garlic.com/~triblet/swell/abglance.html)
CDIP (http://cdip.ucsd.edu/?&nav=recent&sub=observed)
SWELLWATCH (http://forecasts.surfingmagazine.com/)
SALTWATER TIDES (http://www.saltwatertides.com/dynamic.dir/marylandsites.html)

As a diver who has been using it for 8 years, i can offer a little bit of user knowledge with the NOAA site.  It has good pinpoint weather if you pick an inland spot.
Also, the newer point forecast for the nearshore waters is usefull, but not perfect, so it will lower swell forcasts for areas protected from the general swell direction, but generalizes and so missed some local factors. To be safe i would err on the side of the biggest.  It will give you a forecast 5 full days out, but i find that far out it is usually wrong.  I feel more comfortable around 72 hours, and that increases exponentially as it approches the current forecast.  I live in Sac, so use it to judge whether i will be fishing/diving, or just camping/drinking :smt002  With the final judge being my gut while sitting on the bluff.

Yes. I would be interested in purchasing a print or two!

GIS Analyst for an Environmental Consultant

so i spend most days in the office processing GPS data, making maps, utilizing Lidar for watershed analysis.  The other half of me is a wanna be aquatic biologist, so they let me out to do some backpack electrofishing now and again.  Two weeks ago i finished up a 12 hour day wearing a 40 lb backpack shocker, pulling every fish i could out of a section of creek that was being de-watered (about 3,000 in all) and all i could think was, "I can't believe i am getting paid for this :smt003".  Nothing like a day on the water!

Let me know if anyone needs any help with mapping tasks, my new favorite things is playing with KML files (the kind you can draw on google earth), and getting them on a GPS unit.

Thanks Duane!
I am the guy who it went to. (and thanks to birddog for playing the middle man on this for me!)
You will undoubtedly see me out with birddog and mudshark before to long.
I've been watching from the outside the last couple of years, and like everything Ive seen about the NCKA.  Glad to to be involved, and see you on the water
