Re: The Key West Open Just weeks away!!!

Hi Nate,

I am jones´ing to go out, but I always come solo.
If there is a crew getting together and anyone needs to add a pair of hands-on-deck, I am in.
30+ years freediving and spearfishing - natively in Brazil, but have living here in Miami for the last 15.

Let me know know, I need to hook up with a new reliable crew since my last one got split up because the boat owner sold his rig.

Look forward to meeting you...

Andres. 305-321-4007

Not unless they lower the size limit. I believe the fish have to be legal to count!

Re: The Key West Open Just weeks away!!!

Prize table is looking good and so are the "Silent Auction" prizes!! There are plenty of Hotel stays and other great donations for the auction. For those outta-towners, this could save you a bundle for future visits!!
