Icon9 Goodbye - I am being locked up!

Goodbye TRF I am being locked up. My Sea Dweller made me do it

My crime: Convicted of seeking action, adventure and awareness.

My Punishment: I am being put in a cage (behind bars) at Isla Guadalupe, a small remote island 150 miles of the coast of Baja Mexico to see some amazing creatures (great white sharks)


From my original thread:

I will drop into TRF a few times prior to my lock up. I will post a complete report with photos when I return.

Sean

Have a great trip, Sean. Try not fight one of those big boys for the good sashimi.

Can't wait to see the report when you return Sean. Try not to make it out to be too much fun or you might make me . Take plenty of pics.

Have a good one Sean, be careful when you stick your hand out for that obligatory wrist shot underwater.

I wish I can find pics of my experience in the cage with the great white off the Great Barrier reef back in 1986...it was a thrill, i'm sure you will enjoy every minute of it Sean.

Stay safe buddy!

seantk,
pls take a wrist shot of your SD with jaws on the background but don't stick your hand out of the cage, you might lose the sd....and your wrist!

is that why I received your bucs tickets??that is awesome-I am not sure that I could ever do that though,you know I work on the water-and every time I have to jump in for some reason I have the absolute worst feeling that I am going to get attacked by a shark-I mean I am honestly quite paranoid about it.I was thinking of going to therapy about it-sometimes I cant even complete whatever task I am doing because I am too busy staring into the water!!lol.
good luck my friend!and you are awesome!!!I will tell how the game was.
cheers,
steve
p.s.-did you notice I am still exactly ten posts ahead of you-every time I happen to check it is exactly that number...stange..
