Am I missing something? The Coronados? I googled it and it was in Afghanastan right?
Very likely based out of the West Coast HQ for Seals...Coronado.

Damn that sounds good...

Welcome,bro. Alotta good,good people here.

Guys, I appreciate it and all....and please understand this isn't a sour grapes thing or a 'poor me' thread. Certainly a realization that crawling thru muck and hunting by feel are not my brands of fun. Which I think any outdoor pursuit should be first and foremost fun. So it's a self-realization I had Sunday when once again I was out trying to shoot fish in deplorable conditions and thought "This kinda sucks." Problem is, that was pretty much a normal day.:frustrated1: So...is what it is.
Just thought I'd share it with my friends.

They are that quick to suspend people of SB?
I love the spearing community, goood people..... I just have to accept that I won't be one of them . SB has nothing to do with it, bro.

Aaron, fly fishing it's a art onto it self as you know. I have plenty of gear for you to use if you get out my way.
Just don't PM me on SB as I wear the wrong brand of gear, and my account there is suspended without notice. I can see no images and no one can PM me there.
Please hang around here I like you too squid.:DCheers, Don
Don, the art is what keeps me coming back. I can't draw or carve, but I'll be damned if I can't weave and imagine. And the finesse and timing of making a cast ....I cast in the yard to relax and unwind.
Don, the tie that binds is that I am passionate. I have my dogs that without them hunting would be nothing,and without a long rod a river would seem empty. And without friends a fire would seem cold.
Welcome to fire anytime.

Gentlemen,
I am an all or nothing guy. Plain and simple. For the past years ,I have tried like hell to be a spearfisherman and I just can't . Not for lack of desire or ability, but for access. Oklahoma is a bitch of a place to dive period. Try to add spearing into the mix and it's quite the challenge between the archaic laws and unpredictable weather patterns and water clarity....well, shit on it. I give up. I was counting on a tour to GTMo to fire me up for the blue waters, it also fell thru. I see the Gods hands working and I fold.
I have to confess that I'm not being beaten completely. Ever since I was little I've been a fly fisherman. From the age of 8 or so; I was dead sticking, czeck nymphing, and swinging streamers for everything.That's where my heart lies. It's so much like hunting I don't know where to draw the line.I also have contacts there that are starting to draw me into places I didn't see a beloved past time going. I gotta chase it, hermanos.I'm sending my gun off to well deserving guy...and ordered some new leader kits for my warm water fish. It's just evolution ,fellas.Not going anywhere cause I like you guys,

Yeah, Aaron, this will be number 2. The first one was to Iraq a couple of years ago. I get to play fobbit this time though. Should be nice and quiet.
Good, good news...as far as deploying is concerned.
-
i think it would be a great platform as long as you keep sharp things covered, like on a RIB...it has the nice bonus of being so light that it would be towable like a dive float if you chose to swim it out or in.
That's exactly what I was think,too.

You're in Cuba? There should be much to tell.
Not yet, buddy. Start my pre-mob work up July 1st , have some training to go thru, and should be in country by Aug. 11th. Most of my gear is already down there waiting on me.

Damn !!!
-
Judah, they also have one that is completely frameless and folds into a wheeled piece of luggage. I believe it weighs 38 lbs. total.
Ya think they'd be alright , though ?
-
Monk, isn't this your 2nd or 3rd deployment ? Thought I remembered reading that...anyway, be safe.
-
They use sea lions sometimes ,too. Had some guys that were in a MIUW unit( Mobile inshore undersea warfare ) that went out to Ca. to see it done.

The Dude abides....welcome.

Does it come with harnesses for the dogs to pull?
Welcome back Aaron.
Ha ! Well I do see 'D' rings attached to the front of the pontoons, so it might be an idea.:) I think having it shipped to Cuba would be a bit cost and storage prohibitive. So might just pick it up when I get home.
And thanks, Dan.
