Come now hail fellows*, let us seize this day. We shall gather upon the fair beaches of our mother and enjoy the pleasures granted upon us by our mere extistance in this blissful and radiant land. Let us not be discouraged by the show of her might but celebrate it as we may. We gather not only to dive but to strengthen our bonds and sup together. I too hope that we shall be able to sally forth beneath her cold embrace; but should this not be possible, I will happily frolic upon her uplifting bosom and sink my feet into her shifting sands.

headhunter:Well...traditionally the Wrinkles Dives have become a time for people to get together whether or not the conditons were good enough to dive. It's a great time for people new to the community to come out and meet other people to dive with and it's always good to meet people that come in from out of town. Most of the time conditions have been good even if the predictions say anything to the contrary. Of course, sometimes the predictions come true.
The social aspect of having divers come together has become as central to this event as the diving.
On more than one occasion, I've made the trek to La Jolla only to find out the conditions were less than favorable. I've always been glad that I went because of the wonderful people that I've gotten to visit with.
For what it's worth, the high surf advisory that I just read was in effect until Friday 10pm PDT. The same report said that surf would begin to subside on Friday morning.
More often than not, I've shown up when people said it would be bad and had a great day of diving. Many of you have been with me when that happened. I've found that the best way to find out what it will be like is to show up.
I'll be there regardless of what the reports say.

) But we'll do it anyway...you never know.
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. And maybe we'll get lucky and be able to get underwater after all! Either way, y'all will get to experience my famous potato salad...
