I know what you're talking about. The long drive, the antisapation, the high hopes, posibly the road fatigue and you're going out no matter what. I've been bitten by this on a surf trip years ago. Sort of the opposite side of a kayak trip, way to much surf. I have a buddy who is an advid abalone diver on the central coast. At the start of every ab season there is a big rush to the coast by people who haven't been in the water since last season. I think my buddy called it "Sacramento Syndrome". Three abbers were killed at the start of this season alone. I can barely think of any thing worse than loosing a buddy on a "fun" trip to Baja. Mike
