Ice Diving?

By then, some of our early varieties should be bottled.

Sweet!

The wine is fantastic. I am ready to bottle the Gerwitztraminer and I just need to backsweeten the Strawberry and that will be good to go. The Chardonay is in the oak barrel and will be ready to bottle in another month or so, but will probably have to wait longer than that. THe Cab has another year or so ahead of it.

Unfortunatly I'm stuck in a work related class that started tonight. Work agreed to foot the bill for a few of us to take classes, and I'm already going to be missing a few with the wedding/honymoon trip to Portugal so diving had to take a back seat. Plus, the weekend you are doing the dives, (at least as near as Marc could tell me) we'll be in the Keys diving wrecks. I knew that I wouldn't be able to take the class a while ago but neglected to post it up here. My bad. Hope you guys have fun.

Where are you going to find safe ice? We're just freezing over here in Southern Maine. My instructor bagged the class for the second rear in a row for lack of good ice.

We don't know yet. Instructor is going up to NH to look around tomorrow. Right now, we are *tentatively* set to dive (somewhere) the 10th and the 11th of Feb. Will have a much better sense after tomorrow.

If there isn't any ice on the lakes, come to the Keys with us that weekend! Speigle Grove, Dwayne, the Bibb. Ice in the cooler is a VERY viable option. :beer_yum:

I don't think I'll make it this time, but I am looking forward to handing an Ice Diver card to the next vacation dive captain who asks for proof of cert.

That's reason enough to do the class! Sounds like there's ice already in NH, and with the weather we're getting these next two weeks, I'm sure we'll be fine to go by the 10th.

Ya think it might act as the double secret hall pass at Ginnie Springs?

Do the course materials specify a minimum thickness? I know they like to have it thick. By the time you cut the hole and surround it with a support crew and potential spectators it's quite a load.
