Scuba Forum / General / May 2007Life is good
We have a big covered porch a stones throw from the water. A mild southwester blowing in, just enough to give us sun and rain in altering duty cycles. Two big dogs lounging on the porch not too far from the grill, acting like they don't know what's coming. Big ole Idaho bakers that have been olive oiled, garlic powder, fresh black pepper, celery salt and kosher salt on 'em and wrapped in foil on the grill at 400. 4 fatty New York steaks all seasoned and rubbed up proper resting at room temperature, waiting for friends to arrive, then they hit the grill. Shrimp season opens on the 5th, with a daily limit of 80. Hood Canal spots are without peer. This year the rules have been changed so that we get to take them diving, as long as you don't penetrate the shell. I bust my a.s to live here, and times like this make it worth the effort. Consider this an open invitation to any and all rec.scubii to join us for good diving, good food and good life. <snip> > Shrimp season opens on the 5th, with a daily limit of 80.

Scott, per our previous emails, I really would like to get over there. I was over to the "west side" and had some shore dives off Whidbey and some boat dives out of Friday Harbor last week. Did not have enough time to get out to Hood. Thanks again for the info on the RV parks in the area though. While I cannot offer any diving comparable to your area, we do have some exceptional boat cruising over here, and I can guarantee we do a great BBQ. You have my email, let me know if you are ever headed east! Dan > Scott, per our previous emails, I really would like to get over there.

Dan Man, when things slow down we are going to be headed east, but way south. Couer D Alene is dead in the middle of Gods Country, and Pend Oreille is just north and out of town from there.

Well, if your travels take you past where I live, do drop in. Although I see that it may not be that far "east and south". ;-) Dennis >> Scott, per our previous emails, I really would like to get over there.

I keep my boat in Bayview on POR most the year, then haul to the coast for a cruise. Wide load crap is a pain, but sure is nice cruising, especially up north in BC. But, I do like living in this area. Diving was about 50%--two real good with reasonable vis, two not so good as vis was down to about 5 feet. Some remarkable size Ling down there. > Diving was about 50%--two real good with reasonable vis, two not so good > as vis was down to about 5 feet.

Yeah we get 5-6 foot lings here pretty commonly.

Yes, been to a few places up there. One problem I have is that when cruising up there, I only take two tanks, one each for my wife and I. There are places up there in BC where fills are hard to find, and a couple places that could not get above 2800 PSI in our 3500psi tanks. Usually means only one dive and then hunt for a fill. Wish I could spare the space/weight for a compressor. Dan > >> I keep my boat in Bayview on POR most the year, then haul to the coast > >> for [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > one dive and then hunt for a fill. Wish I could spare the space/weight for > a compressor. That's always a big headache with HP tanks. Many of the SoCal dive boats can't get more than 3,000 in them, if that. A set of big LP tanks and a winch to haul them up post-dive will add up to less than the cost of a compressor. >> >> I keep my boat in Bayview on POR most the year, then haul to the coast >> >> for [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > tanks and a winch to haul them up post-dive will add up to less than > the cost of a compressor. I would even be happy with a couple extra AL 80s but, space is at a premium. Might not be a bad idea to get some LP Steels that can get a good fill most anywhere. I do have a davit, but it's for the dingy;). > Yes, been to a few places up there. One problem I have is that when > cruising up there, I only take two tanks, one each for my wife and I.

Aw shucks, ain't it nice when we agree on something (I was joking about the winch, but the extra weight is a PITA with LP tanks - though they may take a few pounds off the belt to somewhat compensate) >> Yes, been to a few places up there. One problem I have is that when >> cruising up there, I only take two tanks, one each for my wife and I. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Shitcan the HP tanks and get some LP 95's from either Faber or > Worthington. I am considering a set of LPs as my second set. My wife does not seem to burn much air, so in the HPs we have an 80 and a 100. She likes that short, relatively light tank. Ours are PST, but I think the Faber LPs are available here.

I take it that this is a recommendation from Scott - if so, I'll have to second him. The diving in & around Vancouver island, the gulf islands, & the Sunshine coast is great. I take it you (Danlw) are up in the Prince Rupert area (or farther north)? That would be a long cruise, but if you make it to Powell river fills (at least to 3000) shouldn't be a problem. As it turns out I'm heading off to the sunshine coast on Saturday. I'll try and remember to ask the shops there about HP fills.

I've re-earned my "k-dog" nickname at b-ball this year (on account of my strikeout record), so I'm a little sensitive to the whole "dog" nicknames right now ;-) You're pretty lucky to have hit the narrows - I've been up there twice and the narrows were undivable both times. This trip isn't looking much better - the narrows are cooperating, but I'm dragging a few newbies this time around, and that isn't a newbie-type of dive :( Bryan Bryan Heit sexually stimulated me with: > And confused.

I was up by Powell River year before last, but only went as far as Pender Harbor, Princes Louisa/Chatterbox Falls last year. Was able to get a fill at Egmont, though I couldn't talk my wife into diving Skoocumchuck narrows. Sure would appreciate getting current info on fills up that way.
