Additional highlights:

-Fishing was very slow for everyone, even on some of the other party boats.

-Divers on our trip reported: gazillion bugs underneathe--teasing, huge abalone--so tempting, and also they ran into a school of

that was very skiddish. Had one opportunity to spear one, and of course, missed.

-Boat Captain found abandoned pots with over ten of these guys inside

. Watching them go overboard right around dinner time was heartbreaking.

-Fellow yakers on board were extremely friendly. And an honor to meet some of the nicest board members from here.

-Boat and crew was beyond top notch. Clean boat; galley, stater-rooms, ammenities, etc.

-Leopard sharks took numerous of yakers on a sled-ride, lost many tackle to them. A 5-6ft. soupfin decided to terrorize some yakers as well.

Bonuses:

-Navy performing bombing missions on the opposing side. My gawd, was it it loud. Felt like we were yakin in a middle of a war zone.

-Warships in the far distance. Military helicopters and jets flying overhead.
