St Abbs, 3rd May

[Stesh]

Thought I'll post this up, as I've got some spare time.

Me & Sandie went out on Billy's boat for the first time this Saturday and I was well pleased with the "book ya buttie" (or Panini, if ya posh ) service off Alison before ropes off

Boat deck was well roomy even with 12 divers aboard and we quickly got to our first dive:-

Dive 1. Black Carrs
Sea. Flat like a pancake
Viz. 5 metres
Depth. 15 - 20 odd metres

Due to Sandie not bringing her camera with her, we were guaranteed to see something? Apart from the usual abundance of sponges, soft coral and dead mens fingers, I was thinking it was very similar to the shore dives we had done before off St Abbs and Eyemouth in the past year and then....
We stumbled into a massive anchor (a property popeye job)

....and then something I've been wanting see everytime I go to St Abbs & Eyemouth (No, not another basking shark )
A Wolf Fish!

So I happily sent the next quarter of a hour throwing my new found friend Brittle Stars

Half-time, and back to the Rock House for fills (air and my stomach with my per booked buttie )

To be Continued........

Dive 2. Somewhere between St Abbs and Eyemouth
Sea. Flat like the Cheeky Girls
Viz. 5 metres
Depth. 15 - 20 odd metres

We Drop down and come across a reef and a....



....swim along a bit and.....



..... glance to my right.....



.....potter along abit and bump into.....



....we move off again, only to come across.....



A big ships bollard in the middle of nowhere, with no other wreck around?
But plenty of............. yeah you guessed We gave up counting Wolf Fish after we hit double figures!

I so wanted to see a wolfish when I went, the closet I got was seeing Ratcliffe every now and again

We never got the order your sarnie service and we stayed in their house, then again, we did have breakfast somewhere near 12 on the sunday after we'd been diving.

Nice couple and a nice boat, the other one looks even bigger though

So, now your an expert in Jackanory and Google searching to help spin a good yarn, how about the truth? Bet you had a crap day and just want to make us all jealous that we didn't dive.

Erm, can you remember Jackanory?
