Dive N' Surf (Redondo Beach, California) held their 37th Annual Lobster Mobster Contest on September 27th, 2013 between Midnight and 9am. I was not a participant this year, as I was out lobster diving in the Northern Channel Islands. However, I still want to share the art for the official Lobster Mobster T-shirt, as it is kind of a final memorial to Bill and Bob Meistrell, founders of Dive N' Surf in 1953 and Body Glove in 1965. The art for the T-shirt was derived from this early photo of Bob and Bill's lobster catch:
I have seen the photo above for decades at Dive N' Surf - a classic photo of unknown date, but it had to be taken in the 1950's. Thank for letting me borrow it - Dive N' Surf! Below is the artwork on the back of the 2013 Lobster Mobster contest T-shirt:
A few photos from our opening weekend bug trip to the islands:
We got some big bugs.
Here's our boat - a floating bedroom and dive locker.
Bill and Anthony score some big bugs, with more to come.
The northern Channel Islands were beautiful this weekend. Got boarded by the Channel Island National Park service once in their big triple Yamaha V-8 350hp outboard inflatable (no photos, though). Water was between 59 and 61 degrees - not bad.
