Reports - Point Lobos SB Get Together - Oct 7th...

[sarita75]

I can't believe that I am still up. A restless night and its now 11:10 PM - home, gear washed, hung and now, of course, I am up anxiously checking out the photos! My report will be brief as I really need to get to bed. First dive with the group was to "Hole in the Wall" - we had great company and great vis. Second dive Mark and I hung out in the cove and suffered from poor vis but it was a great test for navigation.

First dive with the strobe and, man!, what a difference on some of the shots. Trying to get some photos posted but having a hard time. They are in my album and I will try to get one or two on here quickly... Some need some more work though, but that will happen tomorrow or Tuesday.

Thanks for all that showed up - and thanks for all the help with the ol'e Volvo. We couldn't have made it a better day with anyone else but you all. So, a sincere thank you to everyone.

What a great day of diving that was and I really enjoyed meeting everyone! Thanks again for guiding us to Hole in the Wall Doc Wong and for taking all the video. I can't wait to see the final product! And thanks for bringing us to Thumbs Up Dan. That was a really beautiful reef...I'd love to see the ones you said are better than that!

Awesome pics Sarah! It's great to see that strobe worked so well for you, so mine was probably just user error. I wish I would have gotten a chance to try it out after changing the preflash setting. Oh well, next time. I'll post my pics as soon as I get them cleaned up and uploaded.

Have a great week and I'm looking forward to diving with you all again sometime.

so sorry..... we had a last minute(i mean Saturday evening as i was headed to get a couple tanks) problem that totally messed up our trip!!
everyone is o-k and regrouping for our next trip. sorry we couldn't make it!

No worries Jon. We were just wondering what happened to you. Hopefully you will be able to make it in the future.

Speaking of the future - Brad .... are you still thinking of trying to organize a coastal clean-up with Aquarius or anything? We could try to November if anyone is interested, maybe the 2nd weekend or something?

I worked on my photos last night. Still working on identifying everything but here's a link to the album if anyone is interested..... http://www.scubaboard.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=2669

Danno -
Those are great photos. I want to fall off your boat sometime. That thing was pretty incredible - "easily" inflated, etc. Oh the toys!!!!!

Thanks again for your advice (and Doc Wong too!) re: the car. The part from Kragen worked well (replacement sensor or whatever it is), and we got home safe and sound.
