I meant to do this sooner, but I managed to contact a bacterial infection the week following and have not had much of a chance to sit for a minute and write a thank you.

It was so nice to drive up and dive with my good buddy Harold.  I consider him one of my dive (tor)mentors and due to life, we don't get to do that much any more.

Then, meeting and talking to just a small fraction of the you all made me feel like I was around a group of my good friends.  It would take many hands to count how many events I've sponsored and participated in events from Baja to San Diego to Mendocino and the friendliness, family atmosphere and food at Albion put a big grin on my face.

Big thanks to Craig and Linelle and everyone.  This has become a must do event for me.

Thank YOU Amadeo for the awesome art work and for being there!

Wish I would've dove with you and harold on Sunday morning, but I decided not to push my body after two days of diving and one long night of partying.  :smt002

That Black you shot was a real beauty...don't forget to post it on DOTY within 2 weeks (ie. before Sunday!)

Damn!  These antibiotics have fried my brain.  Ok, changed it.  I'm climbing the ladder.
