I’m with Dan.

Two of my near death experiences were abalone diving on the Sonoma coast. The other one was lobster diving in the Channel Islands!

Hard story for me….I have lived up on the Mendocino/ Sonoma Coast for 50 years….I was a Sport Diver for most of that time….until the State listed the Abalone as “Endangered”…due to Poachers, etc……I would like to have been “the Guy with the rifle!”….Any Game Poachers steal from the rest of us who follow “the Rules”.
