Kona, Hawaii - August 14-22

Tue Aug 02, 2016 3:59 am

Hi all, I'm gonna be in Kona for a week with the wife and kid staying in a condo a mile or so south of the airport. Thought I'd bring my Kraken. Anybody local or visiting that wants to meet up for a DH dive? Big game fishing? Beer consumption practice?

Since my ticket did not arrive yet I can assume you are not taking me??. We could have written it off as a work expense since there would have been "product testing" involved...At least thats how all dive trips work for me :)

Interesting proposition Bryan. Exactly what beer would we be "product testing"? :D As for your ticket it was down to you, Antique Diver Bill, or my wife. After factoring in all variables I made my decision based solely on the snuggling ability of the contestants. Bill, your ticket is on the way! :shock:

Busting the windows out of a Bimmer must have been so satisfying. I imagine that if the vehicle had been a Ford, the good fellows at the FD would have just laid their hose under the car.
Too DAAM Many double hoses, It's not a hobby, it's an addiction.

As a former Virginia Beach Fire Dept. Lt. I am somewhat familiar with the practice of placing a suction hose through a vehicle. You got additional points for style if you managed to position a leaking coupling connection inside the vehicle. :lol:
