Last weekend

Had a couple good swims last weekend.  Didn't find many fish though.  One baby striper caught off Brentons Reef saved me from a skunk...

On a good note, think I've finally figured out the intricacies of the tidal currents around Brenton's Reef, and how to hit the trough in the reef on the outgoing so that I don't get swamped by the point break.  I'm much more comfortable getting close to the main reef and working it's edges that I was last fall.

Tonight

Should be a great night for a swim!  Looking forward to getting pulled around.  Might do some diving after sunrise if the underwater visibility is decent.

Hey Ed.... I'll say hi to the sharks for you.  They'll be disappointed you can't join us tonight!  [insert tongue wagging emoticon here].

Apnea training

I just held my breath for 4min and 23 seconds,,, new personal record.  Learned some great techniques & training excercises to increase tolerance to CO2 buildup and low O2 levels.

Should really help improve my bottom time when freediving.


On a skishing note,,, tides look great for a  Friday night swim this week. I'll post a report sometime Saturday.
Tight lines everyone!  Stay safe!
