How did this get there? High tide victim? Thrown overboard because it was cursed?
We may never know, but it must be a popular dive site.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Dear Friends,
We wish you and your close ones a very Merry Christmas and safe and Happy Holidays!
We are grateful for all of the stories of adventures you’ve shared with us throughout this past year. The joy of riding and your smiles from around the world is our greatest inspiration!
We hope that keeping Urals roaming the globe helps make it a little more connected, open and lighter.
They say Urals aren’t fast enough. Well, maybe slowing down is a good thing once in a while, to appreciate the journey, to find one’s way and rediscover what really matters.
Here’s to a peaceful, more thoughtful and a kinder world in the new 2024!
From our family to yours!
