Farallones run! Met up with Kawika, Clinton Bauder, and Mark Lloyd in the
Half Moon Bay ramp at 6:30, after getting lost in
"can't see the end of your hood" fog off Crystal Springs.
That was fortunately the only fog of the day. About
two-thirds of the way to the Farallones it started blow
stronger -- the SF buoy was reporting 14 gusting to 17.
We got there and things really weren't worthing diving,
so we hung out in the lee of SE Farallon for about and
hour half watching whales and listening to the sea lions.
It finally laid down some, and we got in one dive on
a site that I think is one we call Fair to Middling.
Kawika and Mark came up, with Kawika complaining about
the lack of a Wolf Eel seen here before. Clinton was
setting up his wide-angle rig so I waited until he was
done, signaled him "eel!" and dove in for macro face
pictures. He was pretty cooperative -- I got eyeball
to nose macro face pictures, and Clinton got pictures
of me taking pictures. Vis was a really clean 50',
49'F, plenty of current and surge.
