Skip the commitment and come out with us on my boat. We will probably do the Llewellyn Howland tomorrow.
Getting a late start this year as we had the boat awlgripped and the job was just finished.
After this weekend we are off for 2 1/2 weeks in Thailand and the Phillipinnes.

Can't it's family, thanks I'd love too otherwise. Also another friend may have an opening on his boat for a Castle Hill Sat AM probably be back in time for my commitment. Went to FTW today for a shake down dive 1st time since New Years day and I had several new items to check out all of which worked fine. I've got a bronze stair thread from the LH in my front sidewalk. Nice vacation you got going there!

Phil called me I'll be diving Castle Hill tomorrow. I bet you'll have nice conditions tomorrow the sound was pretty calm today and the winds are lite tonight and Sat. Save diving thanks for the invite/

Dive 2045 FTW 6-5-15 16:00 16:53, the water was dead calm in Sandy Bottom Cove and lite chop in the channel. Used the dry suit and the 50cuft IDs. The surface water temp was 60F, max depth 33FSW 58F, 53min. Vis was a solid 10'-12' a little less at 33FSW tide was low incoming except at the outer point where the tide was still going out an hour after low slack! Saw a few small togs a skate a 2 horseshoe crabs joined fore and aft with a quahog hanging off of one of the crabs! Their tracks were all over the bottom. I got some pics but my camera housing with camera in it is still soaking; tomorrow I'll post them if they came out. My new computer worked as did my new/used camera. The new canister light is the bomb and the double tank adapter with cam bands is just the thing for IDs. My weight at 29 lbs was too light and the dive was cold due to suit squeeze trying to lose buoyance and cut short when I became too buoyant to continue. Next time 35 lbs.

By tomorrow do you mean Sunday? I can probably do a dive Sunday except the only tank I have full now is a 72 LP which isn't a lot of air. I'm going to find out if that new shop in JT is open Sunday AM if he is I'll go fill one of my 94LP.

Had a nice dive at Castle Hill about 10-15' vis no fish however one of the guys found a new anchor with a 100' of new ground tackle!.

Dive 2046 6-6-15 Castle Hill Newport The sky was overcast the wind lite and the bay calm. We anchored the Phaze II just south of the Coast Guard station. I used a 94LP and dry suit, weight was heavy @ 20lbs. After rolling over the side we found a pleasant 10-15’ vis, max depth 50FSW. Water temps were consistent regardless of depth, surface temp was 60F, @ 50FSW 58F. Visibility was also consistent with a solid 10’ vis @ 50fsw and that was mostly because of the low light at that depth. No large fish but plenty of bait fish. The second set of divers went to 100FSW and found togs closer to that depth but no keepers. Again all my new/used gear worked flawlessly. During the time the second set of divers were down the weather changed the wind picked up and white caps started to form the ride back was long and slow, which gave us plenty of time to review our dives. It was a great morning of diving with 3 excellent and experienced NE divers and good friends too.

By the way John it's never too late to call me to go diving unless I'm already diving!
