Woke up this morning to the smell of a pot of coffee.... crap, I can't drink coffee before freediving.  The wife and son get ready as I pack my gear into the wife's car.  Head down to monterey and stop by apto's (Jim) to borrow the raptor.  This time the wife wanted to try it, with my son.  She wanted to try something dry.  It turned out great, because it was overcast till 11am, and wife was cold.  She used a towel to keep her warm, and my son sat in the back.

We all get into the water and I start to record on my gopro, THE HUNT FOR THE GREAT SAND... yeah it was all sand baby... not a halibut in sight.  So far 2 trips, 0 hali's.  I think I am throwing in the towel, and no more hali's for me.... HAHAHAHAHAH

Here is my skunk video...  I don't even know why I post it, but I figure it would be some type of learning experience for someone who has a thought about doing it.... DONT

Stay off of my sand spots - or else!

Good try!  ;)

Halibut hunting is by far my least favorite...  :(

I saw a BIG rock too!  :smt003  Thanks for the Hali scouting report and video Chaeki.  I think your son enjoy riding on the stern.
