I woke up at 7:30 AM, after recovering from last night’s lobster dive; I figured I could still get to Old Marineland by 8:30 AM to dive.<\/p>\n

Throwing my still wet gear back in the mighty Duster and calling Instructor Ed to be ready when I picked him up, I headed from the Long Beach ghetto in to San Pedro.<\/p>\n

The mission expanded when Ed had me diagnose a wireless connection problem with his computer… then he got a call that someone had been stabbed at his bar and that the Police were on their way.<\/p>\n

Ok, screw it, I guess we’ll show up for the debriefing at least.<\/p>\n

We come to find out, that a crazy man from the insane asylum next door was refused service at Ed’s bar last night and left within two minutes – that’s what the surveillance tape showed.<\/p>\n

Sometime during the night or next morning, the crazy guy got stabbed and told the Police that it happened in the bar.<\/p>\n

After that was taken care of, it was finally off to our destination.<\/p>\n

Without any hassle or lecture, we were waved through the main gate at Terranea Resort.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The cove was very calm; the regular band of divers were heading up, finished with their dive.<\/p>\n

The condition reports were, “Fifteen feet, 57 degree water and a great dive.”<\/p>\n

Too bad I missed it, but I at least got my weekend fill last evening.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/p>\n

We broke out the ghetto grill to cook some Korean ribs; cooking was assisted by Catherine No Nickname – a diver or at least a diver’s girlfriend.<\/p>\n

\"Turnout<\/p>\n

Turnout has grown since the “Trail Of Death” has been shortened.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/p>\n

We debriefed with Korean ribs, Kim Chi, a lobster that Jimmy The Bagman caught, hamburgers, pork chops, garlic bread and an assortment of beers, featuring Budweiser – “The King Of Beers!”<\/p>\n

Jimmy The Bagman caught a lobster in 40 feet that he dug out of a shallow hole and carried it for 50 minutes as he didn’t have a bag; is that macho, or what?<\/p>\n

I think he should be called “Jimmy The Bagless” from now on.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The wind started picking up; a storm is apparently headed our way.<\/p>\n

We saw whales go by and a feeding frenzy of dolphins just off of 120 cove – sorry, but my ultra-high-tech camera was too slow to catch any of that.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The shore was so clear, we could actually see the rocks in the shallows.<\/p>\n

Instructor Ed vowed to get wet next weekend since the trail to the water has been shortened on the weekends.<\/p>\n

Debriefing wrapped up around noon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
