Mark C. Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Last weekend I finally gathered up a 45-box gallery order for my outlet in the tourist town of Mendocino on the ocean in northern California. It's about a three and a half hour drive one-way. I make a huge deposit of work there every late spring. This year I decided to add some fun to the trip and asked a friend to go abalone diving as well. I took a few kayaks and after dropping off the pots we hit the water for some free-diving for snails. The ocean was great with about 25-foot visibility and we quickly got our limit of three abs each. Besides being done for a year with pots for this gallery I got to be in the ocean and bring home dinner. Now all the work has been done and I just have to wait for the checks each month as it is a consignment outlet, which I have had for many years and requires much trust.

Kohaku Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Very envious. I've wanted to try abalone diving off Vancouver Island (where I sometimes sea kayak)...but my trips have generally coincided with a red tide... I've tried it a couple times... luscious. Have they recovered enough down there that you can find them easily enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
