& Meeting Agenda
While the viz has been so-so, we had a fun outing to Zee's Reef south of Tacoma, and a super multi-day outing with Sea Dragon Charters in Howe Sound, where the visibility was much improved.
September Meeting
At the September meeting we will be covering:
1. A review of Howe Sound, Zee's Reef and other trip shots.
2. Continue review of CS5 new features, including Refine Edge.
3. Trip planning, especially California in November & June Bahamas.
