Alan, I found that ledge today. It was pretty nice. Didnt spend much time down there though, it was at the end of the second dive. Maybe tomorrow I can find out more.

Willie

Well, we had a great day out there again today. Met ZZZKing and his buddy Paula. We had a great time diving the wall. We also found a hoop to practice our buoyancy and I had a blast trying that thing out. After a few goes at it we really started to get the hang of it.

I also had a super time on Sat., it was great seeing my old friends (well, some of them aren't that old) and making new friends. Khacken fit in just great and I really like his yellow mask, he's easy to distinguish in low vis. I can tell he's hooked on diving already. I really enjoyed meeting WaterWayne also- he's an interesting guy with a fun sense of humor.

Congrats again to ScubaTexan on his 100th dive! Yall gotta promise to make it to mine, sometime later in the summer, probably.

Debra, I still want you to stamp my logbook with your way-cool new stamp. I'm so glad you got out for some recreational diving, you looked very relaxed and happy to be there. I was soooo happy to see Des, he shows up at just the right time, usually- I didn't even have to bribe him with snacks this time. I hope Truckdriver's tooth is feeling better, he got a tooth squeeze that caused him quite a bit of pain on his 3rd or 4th dive of the day.

Lukie also had an injury- broke his toe on his tank boot while gathering his gear at the end of the day. He acted like a big boy about it, but I bet he cried when he got in the car... it's always great to see my old buddies (well they're younger than me, but still getting kinda old...) Timeliner and Firefyter. And Twinkelz!! I'm so glad you came, dinner was really nice. I loved getting to know you better.

The diving? It was great, albeit low vis. It was still so nice to be back at CSSP and weightless. Saw lots of turtles, and ended up in two different clouds of tiny hatchlings- that was a real treat. I thought they were waterbugs at first, they were so tiny and cute. Will be back out there in a couple of weeks, can't wait.

The diving was terrific, and it was great to see everyone again! I'm looking forward to this summer and lots of bottom time. Debra - thanks for the pictures! They're terrific. Khacken - you did fit right in and are doing really great out there; keep it up.

Texdiveguy - keep in touch and let us know how things go with you son. We'll all be thinking about you and yours, saying prayers and asking for blessings in our own special ways that your son has a successful surgery and is home recovering quickly.

I should be back out at CSSP the next two Saturdays in a row. Supposed to be a cold front moving in on Thursday so doubt that it will be quite as nice; but looking forward to finishing up rescue - maybe. I'll be with Scuba Steve's group so if you're out there stop in and say hello.

Teri - dinner was great, the swirrels were great, and the company was great - let's do that again sometime.

Teri - dinner was great, the swirrels were great, and the company was great - let's do that again sometime.

Those squirrels can be especially good when prepared with a nice Marsala wine sauce and served with a Chianti classico...

I enjoyed meeting and diving with you Kevin. Looking forward to doing it again soon.

Thank you Tina for your kind works, prayers and thoughts for Mark,,,,we are all positive and looking forward to getting him well and very active again. Alan

Thanks guys!

Oh, and I talked to Kevin on Sunday. He mentioned that his tooth feels much better and that the doctor said it was a sinus squeeze.

TruckDriver is Tough... I reckon we'll see him really soon.
Actually ... I think he was probably just finning too fast and the torque just twisted him up. Teeth can't handle that kind of stress !

For real Now... The Dude Can Jet ! 'Like a Water Rocket
I can keep up with ' just about ' anybody and He'll push me when he decides to Haul *** .

"Peace the Old Fashioned Way TruckDiver !!! "
