Just found out that the harbor parking area closes at 6PM, another reason to be out of there by then. We will have to load the boat and then drive our cars to another parking area. More details at the dock.

Leesa,
The time sounds good. I think we were all prepared for 5 p.m., too. Sorry if I stirred things up. I didn't think there was a choice until you asked for suggestions.
And you aren't a party pooper, you are a party planner! Thanks for all your hard work on this!

Tom, I can be there at 5:30 and there is an analyzer on the boat, for the one tank of .3 that I am hoping MM brings. The straps are in my car..
I am picking up a vet from NJ that has been diving with Alex this week and wants to join us. She is a tech diver but will be doing the "other end" with a buddy. Becky, you might like her for buddy material if you don't have one yet? she sounds good to go. (she has been there this week)
Just spoke to A, leesa, 14 tanks is his count.

Well wasn't that just fun!?!....This was a first for me, diving off a boat where pretty much everybody knew everybody (not counting our wedding) - lots of joking around and having fun 
. We had some new people join our group - It was great meeting you Randy and friend (I'm so bad, she told me her name 3 times....I remember it starts with a K and ends with an i though....) Bill and Chris - hope this was the first of many dives together!!
Everyone got there in a timely fashion and we were able to leave on time. Caught the shallow mooring on the way out and headed for the Sea Tiger. There we were treated to banded coral shrimp, flameback coral shrimp (a first for me), cushion starfish, slipper lobster, eels, several schools of fish and an itsy-bitsy tiny pink-tinged thorunna.
Twenty minutes go by fast on a big wreck so up we went and then headed to the shallow site...everyone talking about their experience on the wreck. There was a beautiful sunset on the way to the shallow site.
At the shallow site we hit the jackpot, juv. black frog fish, tons of tiny crabs, imperial nudibranch, devil scorpion, a pretty sandworm, another slipper lobster, undulated moray, zebra moray and a very good looking dragon moray (he was out about a foot) and was watching us watch him...Lots of squirll fish, lots and lots of hawaiian spoted toby's of all sizes, we found a big redlip parrotfish...just sitting there with out a mucus mantal....that was interesting....and lots of other more common fishies.
I can say I had a great time and would love to do it again. Maybe in November....we would have to leave earlier though because the sun sets sooner.
Aloha and all the best until our big Labor day picnic!
