Nice video Jim!  Great to see you guys having fun and was blessed with great weather.  It looks like there were so much Abalone even I could find one.  How deep were you?

Wow, what a great trip, awesome vid. Jim, nice to see you could shop around for bigger abs.
Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.

I'll post some pics when I'm at work tomorrow, no Internet at home. Would have posted today but skipped out on work to go spearing with Joe (bloodbath). Turns out we weren't at the top of the food chain today. Would have loved to have little Jim there to fend off the big fish!!
Hopefully he won't tell too many stories to the wife's this weekend, otherwise I'm gonna need to sell all my gear except for the freshwater.

Wow! What another awesome weekend with a great group of friends. Couldn't ask for anything else with the comraderie, sunny weather (yeah sunny), and the great water conditions. Woke up and waited for the sun to come out before jumping into the water two days in a row, no rush because the water stayed fine like my lady :smt002
We had the campsite all to ourselves, food was non-stop, Andy was non-stop, and everyone was in good spirits.
It was great to dive with a bigger crew and see everyone in the zone. Everytime I came up for air I would see fins going down, awesome. We had a surprise visit by DaveW, good to see you again dave, nice ling too!
We got totally lucky with the conditions in Albion, I think I'm starting to like this place :smt001

Wow what a great trip. Jim and I were able to skip out on the Friday work load and leave around 5:30am. Drove up there and got straight to work. Jumped off the yaks and abs abs everywhere. Stayed out there for a couple of hours doing some exploring, and looking for some fish. No sooner than we got our gear squared away and Robert came out and told us dinner was ready!! Boy of boy was that a treat, a long day of diving then come back to a full meal waiting for us. Couldn't have been any better. Barley finished dinner then Andy and the fam pulled up.

Can't say enough good things about the people I have met through this site so far. I had never met Jim and Robert but they treated me like family and are some of the nicest most genuine folks I know. That goes the same for the rest of the crew that was there this weekend, and the others I have dove with so far.

All and all a great weekend and can't wait to do it again when the chance arises.
