[jeg]

Yay! Looking forward to seeing both of you!!!

 

[CathyKeshi]

Ooh hurray, Sheri AND Nora ... ! Look forward to seeing you both. Sheri are you aquarium diving any time that week?

 

[CortezPearls]

Will be great to see you all!

Yes, I’ll be diving at Aquarium of the bay (Pier 39) Thursday, and Steinhart Aquarium (California Academy Of Sciences in Golden Gate Park) on Monday. Send me a message if you want to come visit, and I’ll let you know when I’ll be in the tank. If he is in a good mood, you might be able to see me hand feed Birch, my 250+ lb giant sea bass buddy at AOTB… I’m generally in the tank between 10:30 and noon…

So sad I'll be missing out this year - I'm headed back to Taipei to spend Mother's Day & sister's birthday with them!

 

[CathyKeshi]

Thanks Sheri! Our schedule is different this year, we're coming to CA May 9, traveling, then finishing up with PBTB. But we'd love to see you dive, and you and Nora at PBTB

Purranha, sorry we'll miss you, but what a nice reason to miss ... hope you have a wonderful trip to Taipei

 

[CortezPearls]

Sorry to miss you @Purranha
But I will be happy to catch a ride with @CathyKeshi & Walter to see @la_corsetiere at the Aquarium on Monday!

Me too, me too

 

[la_corsetiere]

Me too, me too

I’m afraid my giant seabass boyfriend isn’t in the aquarium I dive in on Monday, so you won’t be able to witness my seductive herring-waving technique, but I’ll be happy to give you a high five through 7 inches of acrylic in between scrubbing off algae spots in the Philippines Coral Reef exhibit! Such a glamorous job…

Well since the topic of seabass boyfriend came up, doing an obligatory posting here!

Message me if you think you might be in SF on a Thursday morning, maybe before PBTB, if you’ll be heading back home soon after. I’m diving every week, and my sweet Birch has been hungry lately!

[Purranha]

Alright peeps, please start sharing pics (awaiting patiently)...

Heading home tomorrow. Will update with some pics but might take another day. Also, I’ll be posting them in the ”Other” thread for members only. It was an epic pearl party! A HUGE thank you to Sarah!

Thank you all.. it was really a magical day.. full of great information, luster and joy! I appreciate everyone who made it possible! Photos to follow! (I'm just crawling out of recovery mode, and still processing all that Pearls By The Bay was this year! Heart Swell!)

 

[CathyKeshi]

Pearls By The Bay was GLORIOUS! Walter and I arrived safely back home late last night ... it's a long way from CA to PA. Our heartfelt THANK YOU to Sarah, Fuji, Glenn, Douglas, and all the presenters who shared such beauty and knowledge ... it was perfect and we are still in the clouds

 

[BWeaves]

OOOOh, wish I could have gone. Can't wait to see photos.
