Abalone Dreams Come True!
Your abalone dreams have been answered. The day all divers along the northern coast of California have been waiting for has arrived. Could this be a day greater than Christmas? And just like Christmas be sure you’re nice and not naughty! Meaning- make sure you have your California tags. And know your limits! This year’s limit on abalone cards is 18 total.
But only a total of nine can be taken from Sonoma and Marin counties.
And just like it was at Christmas in our house… you may not dig into your prize underwater package before 8 AM.
