Well, what can I say other than ... GREAT time - glad everyone got to show up. Say .... where was Pedro??? Was he NOT there, or did he just go off by himself to a different part of the lake? (lol) Kristi, my bro, John, and I all had a great time. Dive 1 was on the west part of the lake - surface swim to the boat on the wall, then to the bus, obstacle course, 'puter graveyare (John really liked that, as he's an IT/help desk in NY for the schools system) and then the "replacements" boat. 55 min dive, indicated 72 degrees, 40 ffw max. Colder at 40 than computer indicated - about 52-54ish. Kristi was really havin' fun and clowing around, John was patient as I was shooting some small fry around the sailboat. Rest, lunch, T-storm, finally back in to the east part of the lake. We forgoed the wheelhouse boat 'cause of the temps, went to the "triangle wrecks" and van. Got to the forest, Kristi headed back to the entry area to do some weighting and bouyancy checks, John and I went to the car and watched a couple of bedding bream (agressive!!! - got bit on the ear!), and headed back in. Was happy with my navigation on the second dive - hit the targets each time - in less than the usually great Rawlings viz. Got home tired, hungry and grinning! 2nd dive: 44 ffw max, 40 min, 69 deg indicated - again, a little colder than that below the thermocline at about 25 ffw on that side of the lake. Say - it seemed that the thermocline depth was a little different on the west vs. the east side - or was that my imagination? I'll post a few pics in my album later this am or at lunch. Hmmm - seems I "might" have some blackmail photos also - but I think I'll be good! :devil_2:
