Scuba Forum / General / September 2005Labor Day
Gee guys, as one of the guys who still does physical labor, gotta figure out how to celebrate. Reckon I'll push my truck south (to save on gasoline) and pick up a six-pack for tomorrow. Wonder if I'd get a discount if I volunteered to row? Y'all keep the commie busy, I'm gonna pack.

Haven't been yet, but Al Wells says it rocks so I want to try it as Al has impeccable taste. :) Apparently nice fresh water, about 75* top to bottom in August. Tons to see.

Won't be too long now until the leaves start to turn. Spectacular!! George >> Where in Ca are you now? >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >place, lousy/no diving. Closest decent diving would be the St. >Lawrence. But it's a very pretty town, and it's spectacular in the fall. My mother came from Haliburton, just down the road, and I still try to stop at the spring whenever I get around there. My aunt, who's 91, still lives in a senior's place in Haliburton. Die-hard Leafs fan, so I rib her a lot and get it back in spades. I tried a dive once, with my son, in a lake near Barrys Bay (south of Algonquin Park), max. depth of about 40'. Almost nothing to see except for the odd stubbie. Saw a lot of what looked like soft, spongy coral. --- Mike from Ottawa > But it's a very pretty town, and it's spectacular in the fall.

Tourists get lost here for months on end and eventually die of starvation trying to find the way out. Very cool. > I tried a dive once, with my son, in a lake near Barrys Bay (south of > Algonquin Park), max. depth of about 40'. Almost nothing to see > except for the odd stubbie. Saw a lot of what looked like soft, > spongy coral. Ha! I tried Sleleton Lake in Muskoka in 2002. Was nice on top, probably 75*, but hit a thermocline at 30' that took it to the mid-forties. Ended up being a short dive. As you say, very little to see, not great vis, everything kind of brown. George > Have fun, say Hi to Conrad for me.

We had 84 degree water and about 40-50 ft vis on the Atria and on the Pompano reef. >> Have fun, say Hi to Conrad for me. Wish I was there, its 43*F and >> bright sunshine here this morning.

You must've been diving with Terri. I was invited yesterday, didn't know you were around. Limey. > You must've been diving with Terri. I was invited yesterday, didn't know you > were around. There was an instructor named Terri and some students on the boat. Cindy and I did our own thing, and I never did figure out exactly what it was they were doing. It was a last minute very quick trip - we flew down late Friday night and came back early this morning. We did a dive on Saturday from Boynton with Mike and the morning yesterday with Conrad. I thought you guys were all going to Key Largo this weekend, and I didn't try to contact anyone else. Next time we'll do a longer trip, like 4 or 5 days, and see if we can't hook up with the rest of you SoFL folks. >> You must've been diving with Terri.

Yup, Terri is a super cool girl who seems to really love teaching. I have no idea what she would be doing with students on the JA. > It was a last minute very quick trip - we flew down late Friday night > and came back early this morning.

Maybe it'll be my first trip with Conrad! ;0) Dave. > > Have fun, say Hi to Conrad for me. Wish I was there, its 43*F and > > bright sunshine here this morning.

I only see 84* water in my dreams. Maybe next year I'll get south again. Sure do miss it. George > I saw Conrad yesterday; he told me to tell you hi.

Be careful how you curse folks. That makes you sound like an arab. The profilers might not let you back on any dive boats if you keep that up. JF "What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but an absence of self-criticism." - G.K.Chesterton > May yer camel give you fleas! > > We got weathered out. That sucks - looks like we used up all of the good weather and blew town. Sunday morning wasn't so nice - lots of rain, but at least it wasn't rough enough to make Cindy puke. >> May yer camel give you fleas! >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Sunday morning wasn't so nice - lots of rain, but at least it wasn't > rough enough to make Cindy puke. Heard from a bud that was out diving in the am on Sun, then they fished in the afternoon. Says it turned to crap about the same time for them on Sunday as it did for us yesterday.

This looks a bit worrying tho. http://www.weather.com/maps/geography/southeastus/southeastussatellite_large.html Later, Limey. |
