Jan 2010 Winter Storm

[Ben_ca]

Kathy D and I went for a dive at the Breakwater. There was a lot of rumbling about the coming storm but all we saw was a little rain and wind. By our second dive the parking lot had emptied out and we had the Breakwater to ourselves.

So that was today... But as for tomorrow's conditions I am at a loss of words...

Wow

I'm nowhere near those monster waves in Monterey - I'm cozy in my house back in the city.

Ditto for me, though the storm has already affected me by delaying all flights back into SFO. Hope it burns itself out quickly after giving us some much-needed rain.

I went diving at Breakwater this morning (Monday). We did 1 dive at around 7:20 am, about 35 minute dive, saw 2 fish, 1 otter, 0 nudi's and 1 sea lion. Visibility, 3-5 ft., wasn't worth doing a second dive and returned to shore with 2000 psi. Did get to see the anchor that was raised, I'm totally surprised I never knew it was there.
Oh well, at least I got wet before the big storm.
Oh, drive home was pretty hairy, but a bit disappointed it wasn't raining hard enough in san jose to clean my gear.

Way to milk the last seconds of great weather! Kristina you are a trooper! Glad weather didn't deteriorate while you were down-under!
