We (johnnyseko and I) dove at Ft. Wetherell today in the left cove. It was dang cold. The vis. sucked. It was crowded with obnoxious kids. I am so cold that I will refrain from my usual flowery speech and just tell you what we saw:

About half a dozen lobsters (all of which were too small and/or which I failed to catch)
Some neat anemones, both lined and the kind that burrows in the mud
a gunnelish fish
a 6"ish sculpin
Lotsa cunner
a couple juvenile tautog
a spotfin butterfly fish about the size of a silver dollar who was colder than me
2 fishing lures
a golf ball
a piebald green crab
a puffer fish about the size of a grape
a BIG flounder that had a BIG nasty bite wound

Did I mention it was cold?

The only "chillin" I was doing tody was in front of my nice warm computer. Of course I did miss out seeing the golfball! lol

*scowl**shiver**scowl*

The puffer fish was the highlight of the day. I'd rather freeze my tail off than sit indoors all day.
*shiver shiver*

I know your type-my buddies wet suit dive all winter long-CRAZY!

 

[Gidds]

Bah! I was only diving wet because my drysuit class is NEXT weekend. But I got to see a butterfly fish AND a puffer fish so it was worth it.

I'm actually quite envious, and questioning my masculinity:06:

 

[Gidds]

Well I didn't see any of the SB NELD macho men down there :angel:

 

[RIOceanographer]

Bah!!! I had to turn down a dive today because of this stupid sinus infection! The only bubbles I made were from the soap in my sink when I did the dishes!!!!!

ARRRGH!!!! If I don't dive soon I feel like I might just wink out of existen(poof!).........

 

[ProfessorAronnax]

Thanks, I feel better now :bang:
