Andy...if you figure out how to do it nice (which I am sure you will), I will buy one off you....but I would probably want an 8 inch gauge!

I have the weirdest addition to this post that I could not believe. I ended up going up to our Annual Dive last weekend and a few guys showed up on Friday and dove. It seems that they were not in tune with the exact location of the closer and dove in an area that is currently closed. It is on the north end of Fisk Mill and not posted as to the fact that they cannot harvest fish or abalone anymore so they proceed to dive. They were met with a very rough ocean and around a 1-2' vis. They only got a few abs just enough for the meal of the day on Friday. I arrived on Saturday and we were discussing where to dive when they told me they dove a Fisk Mill on Friday. I went on to explain that this is currently part of the closure and we will have to most likely dive the south end of Salt Point which is what we ended up doing. They proceeded to tell me that they found this ab iron there and showed me it and I was completely taken back . It was my iron!  :smt007 I had thought this was lost forever and especially since it was part of the closed section , I would have never expected to see this again. No one could believe that this had happened but it was true. I will have to add a photo of it soon to show what it look like but this was hard to believe. Karma came around and delivered it back to me in the most unique way.

Here is the photo of my longgg lost Ab Iron. The fact that it came back to me is incredible. It has sat in North Fisk Mill Cove for about 2 years and to be found by my buddy was total cool enough though he might have been breaking the law regarding this spot. This spot just goes to really show what a stupid law this is currently. With condition like they are on the North Coast they would rather force you to dive in a area that is more dangerous then allow diver to use this cove for diving. Oh well, I got my iron back ! :smt006
