I really don't think I've ever thought about sharks at Gerstle Cove. Longshore currents, for sure; navigation to get back in the cove, for sure. At Ft Ross I do sometimes think about what's out there, but for some reason not at Gerstle.

While it was a part of the briefing I didn't hear the "music" in my head the entire dive. There was an awareness that we were not going to surface way out there. Other than that I was concentrating on navigation and keeping Don by my side...
Interesting that you said keeping me on your side. In Monterey, you seem to have no issues with single file or staggered. I wasn't "protection" for your right side was I?
Of course not! I was protecting your left side!
