490.0. "Gold Coast" by DELREY::DOBROZDRA_RI () Thu Aug 24 1989 13:53

    HI
    
    I'M Ric D.  I live in Ventura Marina on a CHB 34 sedan (trawler)
    and work out of the Santa Barbara,Ca (zbo) office. Living aboard
    is great and I use my home to take me to the Channel Islands for
    diving,fishing,enjoying...  I also have a 12' Avon inflatable with
    an Evinrude 35 which will pull me skiing or kneeboarding (my favorite)
    or just cruising the harbor..    One of my favorite nautical devices
    on my boat is my blender  (margi's)..   FUN FUN FUN
    
    I keep my Avon behind my home and I was wondering if anyone had
    any hints about keeping the bottom clean.(The scrunge slows me down)
    My boom isn't long enough to use to keep the Avon out of the water.
    
    Thanks                 Ric D.

    when i was stationed at vandenberg some years ago my wife and i did
    some diving out of gaviota to the first 2 rigs north.i think they were
    called helen and ?.are they still there and still good for scallops?
    most of our tome was spent in the kelp beds north of gaviota looking
    for abs.are they still plentiful?
    had one occasion on a charter boat to go to thechannel islands.it was
    great,the visibility fantastic.i think we were offanacapa.
    
    does the vafb dive club still exist.

     I haven't been up that way much..(mostly beach dives *yuc*) but
    the platforms are still there..could the other one be Harvest??
    
    abs are hurting but can be found if you know where to look..
    
    Anacapa is still great,hunting is good,vis is good....life is good
