kerching 2,408 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Imhave never understood why more use is not made of wave power.Wind is unpredictableSolar is unpredictableThere are algorithms that can tell,us the state of the tides in 75 years timeGuaranteed twice a day....tide comes in, tide goes out. I do not think it has ever been known to stopJust wavering 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
binky 1,038 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 totally agree, but you have to remember what an agressive environment the sea is - it has bad habit of breaking things 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kerching 2,408 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 Unfortunately there are no pictures...nobody wanted the responsibility of carrying the camera for the duration of the dives!Somewhere i have pics of us holding huge dead salmon in the style of ZZ Top guitar stance 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharpend 1,121 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 Why would you take a DEAD salmon into the water for a picture, couldn't you catch a live one? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerching 2,408 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 Why would you take a DEAD salmon into the water for a picture, couldn't you catch a live one? Nah, they were just lying dead on the bottom.Made a change from being overtaken by a rotting sheep carcass whilst on a drift dive!...Nice! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharpend 1,121 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 You need to choose your dives more carefully, what's the enjoyment of watching dead animals drifting?? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerching 2,408 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 You need to choose your dives more carefully, what's the enjoyment of watching dead animals drifting??My mate thought that when he elected to "vigorously poke the body with a tree branch"This was considered by all on the dive to be a 'bad move'! Neither he nor the sheep will do it again. The two kayakers above us on the river were less than impressed 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
