I'm totally up for crabbing this weekend, Mukilteo, or anywhere else.

I can't crab this weekend...will be gone....Grrrrrrr..

I am up for next weekend though...does that work for you?
We can head up north if that's the place to catch "non-polluted" crab. I don't want to grow a 3rd nipple or anything.

Who needs a new sig-line?
Thanks for the suggestion!

What do weekdays look like for you?

As for weekends - I'm slammed this weekend with Dive Around The Clock, and next weekend I'll be around Lake Crescent and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, but the following weekend all I have is my boy's 3rd birthday which means local-diving on the 31st. I could be talked into a crab-dive under the following conditions...

1. You use one of my tanks (a 130).
2. I fill it... so I know you get a "full fill." :evil4:
3. You can hold onto a crotch strap for a few minutes on the way out and back in (it's easy... all you do is clear your ears, inflate your stuff, and hold on - it's actually rather relaxing). It's a long, rather uncivilized, swim. :queenliz:

Jake - you game for the 31st (Dylan's party is the 30th)? The bag is going on your butt-ring this time. :rofl: We may end up doing 2 dives to limit... I'll bring gas for everyone.

You buy them at a non-descript store on Pacific Highway South (they probably sell them in Spanaway too) but they keep them under the counter and you have to ask for them.

1. Yes! - Have wanted to dive a 130 - but can't get that at a local shop (rent)
2. OK - No problem
3. What the hell is a crotch strap? Is my "noobie ness" being tested? Am I being punked? Someone else can feel free to join in to respond to that question.

I am game for the 31'st..

Even though it *IS* Sounder mentioning the crotch strap, you're not being punked. (Good guess though.)

Watch out! :koolaid: Team crabbing :koolaid:. Being beckoned over to the dark side and introduced to the MarCuda on the same day might be too much for most people. Your head might explode before you even get a chance to eat the crab and then somebody ends up with two limits of crab. Can I come? :burntchef:

Holy crap! Now that I am confident (mostly) that I am not being punked, and there is a chance of my head exploding from the excitement of "Team Crabbing" and a ride by a "crotch strap" on a Cuda - I can't wait to go.... :)

Hope the offer is still up for the 31'st
