Re: Announcing "The Blue Wild" -- Feb 23 and 24, 2013!!!
I went to two of these things a few years ago, and they were terrific. If you live anywhere near, there is no excuse for not attending. You'll have the time of your life.
I just wish that it wasn't so expensive for someone from California to pay for the airfare and three nights in a hotel. But I may make it anyway. |

I had to wrack my brain, but finally remembered which boat crash you were talking about. My wife and I were sitting on the patio at Blue Moon Seafood in Ft. Lauderdale the night before the course. This guy comes cruising down the canal sitting at the helm on the flybridge of a brand new open top cruiser. He goes straight for this drawbridge that was clearly too low. He smiled with glee as his head passed within inches of the bridge, but he had neglected to consider the tower of electronics at the rear of the bridge. Antennas, radar, TV bulb, flag pole, etc. all got knocked off into the canal and sunk out of sight. Tens of thousands of dollars. I was feeling real sorry for him until he started screaming at his wife and others onboard out of frustration. They obviously had no clue how to call the bridge operator, so he waited for another boat to come through and ducked in behind it and went back the way they had come. There are definitely a few Rodney Dangerfields driving around out there. That restaurant is so good. I love coming Ft. Lauderdale. Can't wait to get back down. Thanks for the nice words on the sling. I'll be working on another donation for this year's raffle as soon as I can find the time. Cheers, Will |

Re: Announcing "The Blue Wild" -- Feb 23 and 24, 2013!!!
I couldn't remember all the details...but that's it exactly.
Just like when Homer Simpson is laughing at the car driving off the road and bursting into a ball of flames...and says "it's funny when you don't know them!" The class was great fun. We were slow finishing up our course...finished in the AM a day late. They let us take the high powered scooters out that afternoon & dive a wreck. We were buzzing back and forth the length of the wreck ...it was a blast...no kicking ...a lot more bottom time! |

Bill McIntyre, I hope you can make it. Believe me...it's going to be a good one. The exhibitor count is already higher than ever before. February appears to be a good time for everyone, exhibitors and attendees alike, so I'm going to keep it there every year.
Dane, Andrew, Danyar, Dylan....I'm glad you guys like it. The fact that you guys are so psyched gives me the energy to keep going! |

It's getting closer everyone!
We will be bringing many new products this year and yes, we WILL need a double booth. MAKO (and many other of the top gear manufacturers/dealers) will be attending and I'm sure we won't be the only ones who are offering some "Show Specials" Please stop by and say "hello". Dive Safe Dano
