Just wondered if anyone joined either one of the two groups who were planning New Year's Day dives at Fort Wetherill? I didn't go to the OCA dive for the first time in 5 years - was wondering how things went....
 
I was there. I am a member of the OCA. There was a decent crowd. The Dive Club of RI was also represented. The weather was lousy but I think everyone had a good time.
 
A buddy and I were there the day before (Dec 30). The surface conditions were nice, but the vis was bad...about 8'. We entered via the footpath, out to the pinnacle, then returned on the other side of the "finger" up the boat ramp.

How was the dive?
 
I don't know where I put my "gung ho" this winter because I'll admit I wimped out when I saw the weather forecast. :D

You didn't miss anything. It was cold and rainy. It was a good time to get togethor with friends. My son Sean was the Gung Ho one, he did the Penquin plunge at Mackeral Cove for the 4th year in a row!
