So, last pier clean-up, I met this really hot chick who had just moved here from Boston; she had expressed interest about getting back into diving now that she had moved to Southern California.

She has been certified since 2005.

I gave her my phone and pager number and told her to call me when she wanted to go diving.

Weeks later, she called me to go diving; it took me a while to get over the shock and confirm TwinDuct wasn’t just messing with my mind.

TwinDuct suggested that we should dive White Point in San Pedro, since we haven’t done it in a long time.

It sounded like a plan, so the three of us – TwinDuct, Boston Kelly and me – met at 8 AM at White Point.

The wind was up, but the swells were manageable.

TwinDuct drags his ass gearing up…

…as Boston Kelly looks on in amazement.

We made the short, but rocky walk to what was left of some of the old hot spring pools to make our entrance.

Kelly makes her entrance.

The entrance area was protected from the incoming swells; we swam out and submerged.

I tried to go deeper, but ended up going in circles; we surfaced and swam further out before making another descent.

Boston Kelly Follows.

Visibility was pretty good.

This was Boston Kelly’s second dive in Southern California waters, with the first dive being the pier clean-up in Redondo Beach.

She later remarked that she couldn’t believe there was so much to see here.

Garibaldi at White Point.

Even though we did get down to 40 feet, the majority of our dive wasn’t much deeper than 30 feet.

We headed back and in to make an easy exit.

Kelly brought beer!

Boston Kelly logs her dive – this was dive number five, after her certification a decade ago!

We broke out the ghetto grill and made some hamburgers.

Being away from their smart phones for more than an hour is just too much to bear!

Me and Boston Kelly – Sorry, I can’t suck my gut in and smile at the same time.

Debriefing conversation consisted of topics as diverse as photography, diving, water rafting, bungee jumping and the shitty dating scene for apparently all singles.

Kelly expressed interest in rafting (if we have snow pack) and bungee jumping – I forgot to ask if she would be interested in going to Albania next year.

She’s off on another business trip, but hopefully we will dive again, soon.

More diving to come!

By the way, this cute, lovable dog still needs a home…

UPDATE: This dog was adopted Sunday, October 29th and went to a new home!

To repeat this dog’s story from last post:

Some asshole abandoned this dog by roping him to a fence in an alley (Wardlow and North Marietta Court, Long Beach) tight enough to where he couldn’t even lay down on the hot pavement. No tags, no chip.

The dog is scared, but not aggressive at all. He is a good dog, but I am unable to adopt him because of my HOA agreement.

So, if you want a really cool dog, he needs a home. Contact is on the link.

And, I witnessed this first hand.

I am really low on cash; lobster season may not happen for me, so you may not want to hang out here for lobster reports.

Sorry…

My investments with my Nigerian business partners has not paid off, and it’s been quite some time since I was due my first dividend cash payment.

Regardless, let’s go on to a brighter subject before I write about today’s dive…

UPDATE: This dog was adopted Sunday, October 29th and went to a new home!

Does this cute, non-aggressive dog deserve death, or a nice home?

Think about this, because I will get back to you on this subject.

I needed to dive.

This was a fucked up 24 hours- A terrorist attack in Paris, France has killed 148 people.

Fuck ISIS, so I won’t mention the tragedy of Ronda Rousey losing to what’s her name.

My Duster has a dead battery and won’t start, so I siphoned the gas out of it and poured it into my truck.

I made my way to Terranea Resort for my usual Sunday Services dive.

I actually showed up early – 7:30 AM; the Sun coming up early really helps.

I went down to check conditions.

The Point was a little iffy, but the Cove was manageable.

But, where the fuck was everyone?

I mean, I was the only diver there at 8:10 AM; I started to gear up.

8:20…8:30…8:40… I was ready, but no other diver had shown up.

Well, that never stopped me.

Fuck it, I’m going diving!

I made an easy entrance.

Visibility looked great going out.

I am so macho!

I could not believe I was the only one here.

Just letting my GoPro know that I’m OK

OK, so the dive…

I had a great appreciation for what I was doing – I have some pen pals who are in prison, and I am so glad not to be there.

After 30 minutes or so, I decided to head back.

I made an easy exit and gave some advice to some divers from San Diego as to where to head.

Debriefing alone…

I talked to myself… about how lonely I am and how crazy my ex was.

So, now on to a better subject:

This dog needs a home!

Some asshole abandoned this dog by roping him to a fence in an alley (Wardlow and North Marietta Court, Long Beach) tight enough to where he couldn’t even lay down on the hot pavement. No tags, no chip.

One of my six readers can have room for him?
