Speaking of race ... Saturday I drove our yacht club's hard bottom inflatable as a mark-set boat. No tellling how fast. But, I got from the breakwater to the pier 3/44 of a mile away in under a minute. Now all I've got to do is (1) recover from the ride, and (2) figure out how to get the club to let me use it for diving.

And now my attempt and shutting the fussing contest up. 
Bob, I finally got to see my first opalescent nudi last night! It looked just like your photo. The kelp and eel grass is absolutely covered with them at Harper Dock. The reason they caught my eye is because all the kelp looked like it had a raging case of polka dots. So how come nobody told me to look for something less than 1/4" long? No wonder I've been missing them!

It's their time of year. I love Harper Ferry ... the pilings are just loaded with anemones, and looking through the ribs of that old fishing boat is like peering into an aquarium (I've delighted many a noob by taking them out there).Bobbin-along:And now my attempt and shutting the fussing contest up.

Now's the time to spend some serious time in the eel grass at Edmonds Underwater Park ... the hooded nudis are starting to arrive. Last year they congregated by the thousands ...

OMG, I gotta do Edmonds! Keep me posted on the where/when. That's something I don't want to miss.
We planned on Point Hudson for next weekend, but I bet I can convince hubby to do Edmonds. We have been watching a baby red octo (golf ball size) up there for the past few weeks and he's quite the character. Last week we actually saw 3 octos even smaller hanging out near the jetty rocks.
I'm the pokey one of the group and usually find the little things while the boys are usually scoping out the fish and crabs. The only fish I know by sight are flounder and grunt sculpins. It's safe to say my D in ichthy was a pity grade as the professor said he had never met anyone who could confuse a barracuda with a salmon the way I could.

One of these days when I get back home (Mill Creek) I'll have to brave some drysuit diving and check out the diving around Edmonds I keep hearing about... But working in Asia for so many years has turned me into a warm water wuss... 
Not only is the eelgrass full of hooded nudis, but there's another type (that I think is a Flabellina, and Bob thinks is a Janolus) that is there quite literally by the hundreds. It's absolutely amazing!

Lynne ... you misunderstood what I said.TSandM:
The ones that are currently in the eel grass are Flabellinas. The one that's currently in my avatar is a Janolus.
I wish this board had its photo gallery back ... I have good pictures of both, and no way to show them to you ...

Sorry, Bob.
