Saturday was a Chamber of Commerce day in Southern California. We enjoyed a cloudless blue sky with temperatures in the 70s as we motored over a glassy sea toward Torrance Reef. I told Merry Passage that we should send some of this sunshine up to our friends in Washington.
Visibility at Torrance Reef was about twelve feet, not what we expected with the nice surface visibility. I moved the anchor in the wrong direction and ended up at a section of reef that did not have much life.
We made a second dive at Golf Ball Reef, just a half-mile away. What a difference. Forty feet visibility and lots of mating and egg-laying on the reef. Berthella californica were everywhere. I found a mating pair near a ribbon of older eggs. Lots of babies on the way.
