no, just abalone and such, all i saw were to small.
i sold my boat which doesn't help,, it was to bloody dangerous taking off the beach.
it had huge cavitation problems in any white water or even disrupted water("blackdog cat")alloy thundercat look alike.
i think i will go back to a thundercat, they are the best for short beach work.
you can punch though waves or go under water without much thought.
hey that water was crazily warm, we still had ok numbers in pots(thats where mine came from this year) but we are starting to get a few shark problems now.
you know they are always there but when you are seeing numbers on dirty dives and ripped seals its not to comfortable, lots of harassment around to.
down south a few hundred km a guy got minced some months back, a policemen got a few shots off at it while the thing was circling the body, so that doesn't help the mind thing either.
no i am sick about that boat, did some digging and all rough water users had the same problem, shame really, the idea was great.
i wouldnt sell it to others who wanted it for the same environment without major warnings,, sold it to a harbour user in the end.
I looked at the photos of some of the women at these socials. Not very attractive. You could probably go to a night club anywhere in the FSU and see the same. If you're drunk enough some of them will begin to look attractive.
That's why it's probably better to write women one by one and meet them one by one. That is after Skype/w video of course.
Interesting that most of the negative comments quoted from the article come from the comments section of another article.
Gee, why not actually ask one of the ladies of their motivations?
All too often, when one of these stories surface, western women are the most vocal about "how wrong it is" yet they're the ones we're frustrated with.
Crazy, bitter, obese, litters of kids, etc., etc., etc. I can't imagine why a western man with the means to travel wouldn't go to the FSU to look for another option.
These are not just old men, a number of them are just ugly, fat, bald, maybe stupid ones too.
So why didn't the Daily Mail also say that a Manchester slag will have sex with anyone for a bag of chips or that eligible Western women will not give you the time of day unless you are wealthy?
You people really all suck. The fact is faced with a cheating wife beating drunk (and in many cases older) Ukrainian husband, is it any reason to insult the woman if she goes for an equally old man, better off, treats her like a queen, and is faithful? Fact is many Ukrainian women are married to ukraine men twice their age. The only difference is the Ukrainian man is a drunk, beats her. Is unfaithful and treats her like crap.
And isn't this really a condemnation of western women? The ones that marry them say "I'm going to take every dime he has" in a divorce?
The fact is that these women are trading a few years of age (my wife's ukraine husband was 5 years older than me) he would hit her, which I would never do, he didn't work and drank all day, again which I would never do, and cheated on her, which I could never approach a woman like her in the states.
So who is wrong? Her for finding a man who adores her? Me for being older than her? Or American women for being so trifling that they drive men looking for a quality wife over seas?
If people would spend some time looking around on Vk,,, they just might notice, that many of the “happy couples” are pretty women married to rather ordinary and plain looking guys.
Many of the guys that are so concerned about their own looks,,, are also just concerned about their own status. Their own looks, their car and money are more important than a wife. Vain people don’t care about a relationship, beyond how it makes them look.
Women are only temporary for them!
so true. its not difficult to find a good girl in Ukraine. They are everywhere and easy to meet. They do not mind an older guy if
he treats her nice...or even like a normal gentleman. The odds of success are no different otherwise than in the US. You are either going to be a good match and get along or you wont. its a numbers game. the more you meet and date the better your chances of lifelong success.
There was an article in the local paper about age difference in dating (sort of like Dear Abby) where someone wrote about concern of dating between a girl in her 20s with a guy in his 40s. The writer said there was some kind of rule that you do not date someone who is younger than half your age plus seven. The writer wanted some kind of confirmation about its validity and if it is based on reality. The paper columnist responded in the following. She felt that the writer was trying to find a number to back up her objection regarding the dating. She said the more she tries to make a case against it, the harder the pushback will be. If the 20-something is happy, then embrace it and back off. If the 20-something is not happy, then offer some help, but do not use dubious mathematical formulas regarding the problem. She told the writer that you will get the best results if you listen to her and respect her autonomy and the worst results if you preach as if her life would be best lived as you envision it should.
Ukraine after the war that was not a war, the ceasefire that is not a ceasefire......

I have been to one of these romance socials in Odessa in 2005. They are some of the most insincere women I have encountered and is not an experience I would repeat.
1. Find out which hotel the socials are being held at.
2. Book a room there.
3. About an hour or two before the socials begin you'll begin to see ladies show up. Pass the ones that you're interested in your business card with contact # and email. (You may have to have cards made up for this purpose).
Now the socials company will try to have you kicked off property but since you're a paying guest of the hotel you have every right to be there. You have every right to walk around the lobby and talk to who you want.
dcv - I also would not bother with them. It reminds me of those big convention gatherings that is open to the general public (like the annual health fair). Just about anybody (especially people with poor health) shows up.
