Lobos Charters

[btroxell]

The Dairy Barn is supposed to be pretty nice.

It is; hot showers, flush toilets, full kitchen, wood-burning stove for heat. It has a few beds but we usually pitch a tent outside for a little privacy.
We usually have a big ab feast Saturday night during this event.

You can join ReefCheck(Reef Check - Saving Reefs Worldwide) and dive an area off-limits to most on the once-a-year charter. I'm headed to Pt Lobos this Saturday on the Monterey Express for 2 surveys. And I dove earlier this year free (on a survey).
Yes, this is a plug for a worthwhile, non-profit organization (IMHO).

I think I see Ben!

Last weekend the Express was there and the Beachhopper. BTW someone dropped about 100ft of 1/2-3/4 thick rope... Looked like white poly with a brass snap on it... It's laying in about 100 spread out on the East side of Betos reef right near where it starts

If it was poly, it would float.

I guess I failed Rope identification at 100 FSW...

It was definitely synthetic... white... looked like it had some small flags for markers... (depth markers?) We were scooting and had planned a very short time on the reef so picking it up wasn't a bright idea (specially at 100 ft with the clock ticking) and I didn't know if the owner was going to attempt a recovery soon.

If it's still there next weekend maybe I'll clean it up

I didn't see anybody onboard with something like that. It must have been some other boat...

It might have been someones anchor line off a kayak... I saw one end with the brass snap but I didn't spend the time to find the other end... it could have had an anchor that had fouled
