Things to do in Scotland when you're dead.

So, anyone else dived the breda and the Thesis today? no? Aww. Shame.

Well, apart from me, woz, digs, bottle monkey and dave c amongst others!

Just to make you all jealous that our computers now have more than 24 hours to desaturate each.

There is a full trip report to come (courtesy of Digger) and a photo of Woz on the Breda this morning attached!



Seeya all later!

Hmm, thanks Mark for rubbing it in!! Having a really really cr*p week here, work is awful and the cat has been attacking my legs at night as Dave isn't here to fight her off!

My friends keep asking me joyfully if I'm missing Dave, but I haven't answered them!!!

Enjoy the rest of the week. The 8 degreeeee water doesn't make me jealous!!

Nah but dived the Thesis, Breda, Hispania, Shuna, Ronda, General Consul (Isle of Coll), Tapti (Isle of Coll), Scallop drift (Isle of Coll) and a Night Dive around LochAline Habour during the weekend of the 25 Feb!....

A lovely place to be.... enjoy....

Thanks Helen, you've made my day!!

(Sorry Dave, honey, hope you're all warm in my thick weazel...)

I'm diving up there 15th, 16th & 17th April, with Aquanorth. Hope the weather improves by then, it looks a little choppy on the web cam!

Just come back from Oban - gave up a day early after the Force 8+ winds of yesterday and today :o( Bloody BBC, the weather has been "changeable" apparently - would have been nice they'd have mentioned that it would be "changing" from giant hail stones on Monday to storm force winds on Thursday and Friday! :o\ Someone else had a boat out and couldn't physically motor up from Puffin to Oban against the wind and current, gave up and came back... with our little 50hp engine RIB we decided not to bother trying, so spent the day in the pub instead :O)

Tuesday and Wednesday were nice anyway, good dive on the Breda on Tuesday (after the first mis-dive on someone's lobster pots... note for the future: remember to pack the GPS and Echo Sounder before leaving Coventry... or even just looking up the transits would have done!). Oh, and a conger got a three-pronged spear in its head on the Golden Gift too, poor thing (wasn't me, I just pointed it out!) ;o)

Didn't know you could eat conger - what's it like?

Horrible. Not much taste but very fibrous. T'missus saw it in the market and thought she'd buy a bit for us to try but we won't be eating that again.

Laters,

I struggle to eat most things (apparently i'm a bit picky...), so didn't go anywhere near the conger on the plate! :O)

The fact that it was still thrashing around after its head was, ermmm, "removed", didn't do anything to encourage me to try a bit.
