Tribute to Coach

The Admiral and I had a wonderful day today celebrating the life and legacy of John Scolinos.
It was great to reunite with John's family and friends, past teammates and coaches to recollect our time together.

Coach John Scolinos 1918-2009

The Captain played four years at Cal Poly Pomona for this fine man. He "talked the talk and walked the walk". He's a legend that has touched the lives of most that came in contact with him, just ask the Admiral.

Our escort to the island





Another busy day at Cherry Cove




The Admiral and the Captain were able to sneak away for a few days of R and R. Cherry Cove was the destination of choice and it was pleasantly deserted. Several strenuous days hikes made our itinerary. And one very unlucky lobster met it's demise and made for a tasty lobster/shrimp quesadilla on our trip back.

Lobster quesadilla anyone?
JR and two of his buddies
JR and the Capt left early Friday morning headed for the island in search of the evasive and great tasting lobster. We did two night dives (Friday and Saturday) in 65 degree water. The visibility was excellent. Did I mention that bugs are evasive? We boated 4 keepers in two nights thanks to JR's technique and skill.

Sail On Nate

Today a family of 10 joined the Capt to pay tribute and scatter the ashes of a loved one. There were tears, laughs and wonderful stories about this fine man. Nate loved the water and was an accomplished and competitive sailor. May he rest in peace.

Sailor Jerry Joins the Crew

Wow, what'a ride we had this past week. Jackpot and the Capt were joined by Sailor Jerry, El Jeffe and Captain Morgan for the 7th annual Catalina cruise. First night was spent at Button Shell Cove, then it was on to Ripper's and finally Little Geiger. Weather and water was perfect. Another great time on the water.
