Invitation to dive 4/26/03

[KBeck]

Welcome, Bubblejunkie.....should we look for you at the shop/dock?

So, what's our count for breakfast (ie, whoever gets there first knows how many seats...of course, I'll require two after that breakfast).

I count:

Me
Wendy
detroit diver
Jason
Matt

makes it 5; am I forgetting anyone?

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

(and Jason, I think the Friendly Greek's glasses are quite nifty, myself.....he he he).

I could make breakfast,? The boat had 8 available spots as of 3 today

Sounds good to me! The more the better.

But you might want to ask this guy first. It is his restaurant that we will be invading.

Jay, somehow I think you'd be exeedingly disappointed if the Geek is not available on Saturday. ....

bubblejunkie--who should we be looking for.....male? female? Got a name? ut:

You guys are killing me!!! =-)

I've been dying to get back in the water, Boynton is my favorite place to dive, I've always wanted to try Splashdown (I've been going with Leo Sands at DCI for years), and ......

I have to coach my youth soccer team at 1:00PM on Saturday and again at 2:00PM Sunday. ;-0

We play in a tournament the following weekend, and conclude our season on Saturday, May 10 - anybody up for an AM dive on Sunday the 11th?

Have fun - I hope to read several versions of the trip report early next week.

I exactly know the feeling - that's why I had to bow out this weekend. Though soccer season is now over, volleyball season is now upon us, and there's a tournament almost every weekend for the kids.

I just HAVE to get wet before Wreckmania. I've got new equipment that I want to get familiar with so that I don't look like a complete noob underwater.

I checked on the NOAA site and it says that the seas are going to be 4-6 feet subsiding to 5 feet later in the day and chance of thunderstorms. Also there is a small craft caution in effect.

Are you guys all ok with this. As much as I want to go diving I don't think I'll like being in 4-6 foot seas. I usally don't go diving when it gets past 4 feet.

I just wanted to let ya'll know this before I decide to call and cancel my spot and see what you guys thought. WIll you be mad if I don't go?

You guys can decide what you want to do. Either way will work for me. But I'd like to know soon so I can decide whether or not to leave work early tonight to get some sleep for the drive down there.

Do you know if the boats are still going out?

Might be a good time for Blue Heron dive.
