ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I could never have written this book without the help of two wonderful men. Mike Carpenter spent hours and hours teaching me about sea urchin diving. He graciously took us on several boats, and got us a ride down the river into the Albion Harbor and out to face the wild ocean swells. He provided amazing research and answered every question no matter how ridiculous. Any mistakes are mine alone, as he went over the material numerous times with me. Mike, I hope I did right by you.
