East of Japan - 10/11/09

Domenic joined my son Collin and I for a much needed beach trek yesterday.  The south wind had pushed some clear water on shore, so Dom and I were treated to a great dive while Coll played in the tidepools nearby.  We were cruising with huge blacks and looking around for a couple meaty abs to take home.  Lunch on the beach was better than most restaurants.  The company, the scenery and the good energy that flowed were a prescription I needed.  Good Times.   

We pulled two abs around 9" and speared a couple fish.  The incoming very high tide and the wind helped us decide against using the rods, bait and tackle that we hauled, but the workout is a big part of the quality of the day.

Looks like a blast.  Fresh catch over a driftwood fire.  cant get any better than that.

The reports with the little guys are always better! Great job looks like alot of fun. Wont be long till your little one is diving right next to you! There is no other feeling in the world!!!....Andy

Very cool post Abking! I agree that the company is what makes the day, not the fish, and it looks like you had the very best company. Thanks for the report. I plan on exploring the Northern coast next year now that I have some experience under my belt.

Great stuff Eric!

My little jaunt with my daughter down to the local pond doesn't even compare although we did clean up litter & recycle.

Love your little escapes, just straight beautiful.

Hey Brother,

thanks for sharing. That place is the promised land and in more ways than one. The leg is holding up well. Duct tapped the brace on this afternoon and was able to walk over a mile in uneven terrain while chasing deer. Currently sitting in Barnes & Noble in Redding getting ready for this monster storm. Will hunker down tomorrow and get after in Wed. Stay dry. Thinking the leg will do well in the water. Will have to give it a whirl.
