My girlfriend was giving me a rash of shit earlier in the week, so I had the brilliant idea of getting really hammered last night.<\/p>\n

I was sort of “out of it” in the morning, but managed to pick up Ron and meet John at the dock about 10 minutes late.<\/p>\n

We geared up and headed out.<\/p>\n

I had to focus on the horizon line as the boat bumped over the swells; I didn’t realize how much I drank the night before until I almost lost the bile in my stomach.<\/p>\n

I don’t get seasick, but I was not very comfortable on the ride over.<\/p>\n

I decided to go and hunt for some Scallops.<\/p>\n

I descended; it got really cold past 25 feet.<\/p>\n

I had trouble equalizing and the visibility really sucked.<\/p>\n

Once down, I spent the next 20 minutes looking for scallops.<\/p>\n

Of course, since I was looking for Scallops I didn’t find any, but when I’m not looking I come across a few.<\/p>\n

I made it back to the boat first and drank water to try and ease my stomach.<\/p>\n

John came back and then Ron, who handed me a small scallop that we split.<\/p>\n

\"John<\/p>\n

John smiles as Ron splits a scallop – John’s smiling because he thinks our love for sushi is disgusting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
