Orca Bait March Dive ...

[kalvyn]

What time did you go into the water Saturday? March 19th will be as good as it ever gets... you could go in at max flood and not have much of a ride.

Ummm... am I reading the right current prediction here? I'm looking at March 19th right now, and it shows slack at 6:02 AM. Considering where I live in relation to this particular site, I think I'll be spending the night in a motel up there somewhere Friday night. Yikes!

Me too ... and sleeping in my drysuit ...

JeffK ... I talked to Keith on Sunday. Sounds like you guys had a rippin' good time!

Now, back to our regularly-scheduled topic.

Do I take it that the March Orca Bait preference is for Keystone at noon on Saturday? That, at least, would solve Jason's flying issues.

Sorry OE2X, but the tidal exchange on March 12 is rather large ... that'll be a good day to get in a Cove 2 dive or two.

slack before ebb is 0943

If you want to get up early and hit the slack before flood be my guest.

If you all' dont mind a wet suit diver joining again, sign me up. Any site, any date, any depth.... Um, on second thought, strike that last one! Common sense shall prevail.

DD... I think we are shooting for Keystone at noon on Saturday, March 19th.

Ummm, I'll still be barely awake at 0943, let alone 0602. Bob, let's carpool and get a room up there Friday night, what do you say?

Keystone at Noon on the 19th sounds like a great plan. I've not yet dove there, so I'd like to check it out!

OK ... Keystone, March 19th noon.

Here's some pics from our dives there this past Monday (President's Day) ... taken by Cheng and Bob Lew.

Hello I would like to dive with you at Keystone on the 19th. How do I get there? I will be driving from Astoria

Thanks Jay

Jay... that is dedication!

You have two choices... head up 101 to Port Townsend, WA and take the Port Townsend/Keystone Ferry or head up I-5 to Mukilteo, WA and take the Mukilteo/Clinton Ferry and then drive further up Whidbey Island to Keystone.

Here are Mapquest links for each:
