Well it's official, after 6 months, I decided to give it a shot. Got up at 6:00am, Drove to the general store a 7:30 this morning, purchased my report card, suited up, travelled the grueling 50ft to the shore, climbed over the treacherous rocky shore, and popped my first ever legal abalone.
This is not a 10" world class trophy that the Cove is famous for, but it will always be my trophy as it will be remembered as my first.
Now,
I need to purchased a proper suit .... Anyone have an extra they want to sell ;0)
