I worked from 4 AM to 9 AM.<\/p>\n

I called Nick when I got off and we met around 9:40 AM at Long Point.<\/p>\n

I took a “short cut” from Long Beach through San Pedro that cost me some time.<\/p>\n

The waves were calm.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the Sandeaters were diving there.<\/p>\n

Easy in for the both of us.<\/p>\n

Nick wanted to explore the point near Pigeon Shit Cave; I advised against it because of the fisherman.<\/p>\n

\"Pigeon<\/p>\n

It’s a great environment, full of kelp, fish and other marine life.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, waves started pushing me.<\/p>\n

\"Surfacing<\/p>\n

There was no visibility, so I surfaced and found myself between two reefs very close to shore with fishermen all around.<\/p>\n

I swam back out — ooops!<\/p>\n

We went East and ran across a Bat Ray that scared the crap out of me!<\/p>\n

I backed up to give the Ray space, but I spooked it and it fled, almost hitting Nick who was following.<\/p>\n

We saw a lobster – it’s getting big, so I can come back and catch it October 2nd.<\/p>\n

Nick ran across a fishing line and started tugging on it.<\/p>\n

I thought he was caught, so I swam back to assist.<\/p>\n

Nick was just messing with the fisherman.<\/p>\n

I advised him later that that is bad karma.<\/p>\n

\"Hot<\/p>\n

Some pretty hot chicks were hanging out on the shore.<\/p>\n

We surfaced and went in with no problem.<\/p>\n
