<\/p>\nThe time change screwed me up, and I didn’t have any air.<\/p>\n
I thought about waking up early and going free diving, but when the alarm sounded at 6 AM, I looked at it and thought to myself, “Uh, it’s really 5 AM – I’m going back to sleep.”<\/p>\n
As I found out Friday night, there was going to be a barbecue and beer party at Long Point.<\/p>\n
I could not turn down free food, so I made it down to the Old Marineland access point around 11 AM.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The local divers had already set up a tent and were offering barbecued hot dogs and burgers to all.<\/p>\n
Apparently, most divers had stayed out of the water due to waves and surge from earlier in the morning.<\/p>\n
Out of about 14 people in attendance, only three divers dove – and only two dove here.<\/p>\n
Dennis G. dove Honeymoon Cove earlier – a beach dive that’s a lot more macho than here.<\/p>\n
I had to take a leak, so I walked to the cliffs.<\/p>\n
I took care of business and then peered down to look at what seemed to be pretty good conditions at the time:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Long Point seems to be changing quite a bit.<\/p>\n
Maybe I’ll start calling this place the “Terranea Resort?”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Looking down on Pigeon Shit Cave.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A helicopter patrolled the coast looking for terrorists and illegal aliens.<\/p>\n
We talked about diving stories and how the cops hassled us as teenagers.<\/p>\n
Free burgers and beer, plus good company – it was well worth the thirty minute drive here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
