Did you say astronaut...I have a Image of me with one who freedives dives, but that is going to have be another thread.

Dan, thank you for sharing this film of some of the world's best spearfishermen. I have only seen this
footage of Del's one time a long time ago at a awards banquet. Many of the divers were members of
my club, The Long Beach Neptunes. Some like Big Jim Christiansen and Charlie Strugill and others are no
longer there to mentor me. Terry Lentz ( another Neptune) is the USA's only World Champion, he
has always been the diver I look up to, and not just for his world class spearfishing skills. Terry to this
day continues to train and condition his mind and body for a life worth living in our Mother Ocean.
All the Best, Don Paul
Long Beach Neptune past President 1986.Found my 1959 Skindiver with Terry Lentz on the cover.

Never mind Jeff, I figured out what you meant. The pin is stuck/not rotating in one part of the hinge, thus it doesn't need to protrude on either side. I'm going to try this.
Dan, if you still need to form pin end. Cut the pin 1/8'' longer then the hinge body. Don't use heat treated
SS, 302 would be fine. Swipe a large sized SS spoon from the galley, hold the pin on flat part of your vise.
With the open side of the spoon up, peen or strike the top of the pin until you form a edge.
A very small hammer with a polished face will work as well if you don't distort the pin ID too far from the edge. If you have a drill press you can form it by spinning, but try this first.

That was middle summer. Haven't been out there middle of winter. They must weigh 200 more pounds!
Ha, I was throwing this out for Dan. The temps are dipping into the 30's down in Miami today.;)
How long have you been in the North Country? Did you go to OTS in New London?
Cheers, Don -
In that spot I would be much more concerned with the Bars finding you competing for food.;)
Don't be that concerned with SWBO right now, when you get to Florida hook up with some good Skindivers and they will help you. When you get settled in on base PM me if you don't find some one.
Cheers, Don -
What do you figure that one weighs Don?
Fork lenght x girth+ 200# (for winter coat allowance)= Big Ass Fishstealin BoFo
