Wonderful piece, and I like the name you gave it as well.

None to the net but I went spearfishing last Sunday. 46 degrees, cloudy, and spitting rain. Water was 42 degrees. Visibility was less than 3'. About as bad conditions as one could ask for, but had fun and was successful. Fish dinners the past two days!
