For us an evening trolling run will turn into a booze cruise if we don't catch fish, so it not a wasted trip.@tim h caught the wahoo in 2013 not in 2014.
Ok, I'm running with @kthrash in the morning, snorkeling, meeting up with different boats and different locations during the day, then finishing the day with @andy07sx230ho on the "Booze Cruise"!

Yes sir, I did....I don't need to be drinking, with hooks, knives and motion going on. What, do you think I'm some alcoholic? :)

You were in the military. By the way so was I but I spent my time under the water.

I am a certified Master Diver and plan to rent some equipment to dive with.

I was stationed with my parents in Bad Kreuznach, WG, Baumholder WG, Stuttgart, WG and Vicenza Italy, along with Fort Sill, Fort Benning, MilPerCen, the Pentagon and AFSC in Norfolk..

Hoorah, I'm a certified diver...love underwater
I like to dive too but my Navy time was spent on a ballistic missle submarine, the USS Lewis & Clark stationed in Charleston, SC. Now parts of the Lewis & Clark make up the submarine memorial at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant, SC.

That's not bad. Keep me in mind if some people get together for some dives.

@tim h and I were given the GPS coordinates for a bunch of dive locations around Bimini a couple years ago. Last year we strayed from the list. Bad idea...

Ah, sounds like some GOOD stories for the Captain's meeting :)
Are those coordinates in the Bimini thrad or @Bruce 's DOC?

They are held pretty close to the vest. Alcohol has been known to be a pretty reliable prying tool though ;)

Damn, I feel like I'm in Iraq again. "Can we go see the ziggurat?"...the security force would say, "You have any Rip-It's?" :)
Guess I need to bring more $$ for alcohol too! :)

If you don't have room on your boat I would be willing to haul some beer for you.
Probably only cost you a FEW beers...

I'm going to be scheduling my fishing trips around the OUTGOING TIDE... That's when it's best to troll the steep drop off.
