Dive Report (7/31/05): Crane Barge, Narragansett Bay, RI

yeah...I totally forgot about your 853 adventure. Hopefully you'll be able to get air...you may already know that Diver's Cove has limited hours because of Ed's operation...you may want to check first what their Sat hours are going to be.
Have a good week at school...talk later in the week.

Hey Chris

Any estimate of what time we will be back from the U-boat. I may need to rent a tank from Narr. Dive shop for the U-853 dive in order to save one of mine for the abyss then I'll have to free dive the brige

Hey if I can get an airfill after the U-Boat I'm a go. They are forecasting brief storms so maybe we wont get out to the U-boat. I'de love to do the abyss.

Arrrg! Pessimist! Away with thee!

The current marine forecast is as good as it gets for out there:

W WINDS 5 TO 10 KT...BECOMING N. SEAS 2 TO 4 FT.

And I don't think you will have any problem getting a fill here in RI before you head back to CT.

 

[ScubaSarus]

Oh since when did you buy a compressor and have you been holding out on us for free air.

Actually do you mean we'll be back in time for a refill, if not I'm stealing one of you aluminum tanks. I'll talk with you thursday or friday for final preps and we'll discuss if I need to rent one. I just don't want to miss out on the abyss. Abyss and U-boat in one weekend wow time for some nitrox.

That would seem to be the most likely interpretation......

Now your even sounding like a doctor and you don't even have pointy ears yet Cool I'll talk to Charlie Friday and just confirm it though and see what time he's open till.

Also I will need directions and a firm takeoff time so I can get there without holding up the boat.

Thanks

Chris

I had them surgically altered....people were staring.....

Anyway, I'll keep you posted once I get more info.

Hi! ...re abyss...
what's a good time to meet u guys at Chowder Pot IV in Hartford Sunday morning?
Hartford's probably an hour and a half from Wakefield, and you guys may want to meet up in the Middletown area.

When is high tide.

Looks like the weather will be cooler Sunday possibly allowing for less water flow to power elec. demand for acondicionados.

I say 8 or 9 am maybe later all OK with me. My concern is getting an airfill after Saturday.

Oh 2 down one more to go. Took final part 1 and 2 of 3 already. Part three is tomorrow. After this is all over give me a week or 2 to get this Spanish out of my system and I may be back to normal.
