Well, mixed results. First - COOOOLD! 51F at 75 ft (Ruby E) and also at 55 ft (NOSC tower). Who knows, the next step be a dry suit.

20lbs (14 on the belt and 6 for the plate) - I was at least a tad overweighted. The main thing is that I was very feet heavy. It was hard work being horizontal.

Then I remembered that I usually had 8-10 lbs in the shoulder pockets in the KnightHawk to trim out. So I clearly need to find a way to get a fair amount of weight mulch higher on my body.

One suggestion was to use the Highland V pouches, one on each side, attaching them to the bolt holes on the edges of the plate. The other of course is weights on the upper cam band.
