100% right and since a long time
The film "The big blue" immortalized the competition betwen Enzo Maiorca and Jacques Mayol...
I met a couple of times J Mayol on the french Riviera: an easy going gentelman
He commited suicide by hanging himself...Was told about broken heart...
Yes, deep depression is a killer.

I don't know what a Neptune meeting is. Is it a local dive club?
Yes, the oldest dive club in america, freedive only. The Long Beach Neptunes meet once a month for pizza, beer and BS.

Note: The convention for indicating the direction of ocean currents differs from the convention used for wind directions. A "westerly" wind is a wind which blows from the west and goes to the east; a "westward" current is a current which comes from the east and flows towards west. This can cause confusion to people who rarely, if ever, go to sea; but it is easily understood and remembered when related to practical experience with winds and ocean currents. On land, it is important to know from where the wind blows: any windbreak must be erected in this direction. Where the wind goes is of no consequence. At sea, the important information is where the current goes: a ship exposed to current drift has to stay well clear from obstacles downstream. Where the water comes from is irrelevant.
(M. Tomczak and J. S. Godfrey: Regional Oceanography: an Introduction. Pergamon, New York (1994), 422 pp.)So remember: westerly means from west, westward means towards west.

Come to a Neptune meeting,;) The good news when the water cools they may hang half way through winter.

Hahaha Don. Sucks to hear about the WSB I wonder what's going on over there. I hear all sorts of stories about them though hopefully will be able to make it over there to shoot them and yellowtail on pole at some point
Both can be had on polespear with sliptip if your a good stalker, I have done yellows, but in the bed at spring I always use a gun.
There is no shortage of WSB when the water isn't as warm as a Jacuzzi. They just go way North.

Aloha Don and thank you. Now if I could only read it. lol I am trying to get some history also from the owner of the Jack gun as to how he acquired it and so on. Mahalo, Kip
The 2 shaft with tabs (jack gun) are Jacks original, made with his hands. The Rife reel on it looks to be from the 70's after Jay's brother had sold the rights. It has a knurled drag adjuster knob.

Ingenious, thanks Don. I wonder if it's comfortable on the foot.
It was winter when I shot the gun, my feet were frozen and numb.
I was testing these and the big 130 mares back in the dark ages. I wish I didn't have to pass it on, but it has like 17 O-rings if I remember.Cheers, Don

Welcome David, I shot a Mirage that was on loan in 1983....it is one of the guns I do not have, but plan to some day. Very ingenious energy storage system. Looking forward to seeing images of her.
Great to have you aboard mate. -
