Thanks Terry and Sean for being my dive buddies! The pictures look fantastic, Terry! I learned a lot and enjoyed the company too. Glad to see you guys made it home in one piece!

Definitely, Terry! It was really great diving with such experienced divers. I even learned what a San Diego Dorid was yesterday!

Note to self, do not bring a new HP 120 steel tank to a beach you haven't dove before. I feel like I was mugged by angry baseball bat weilding madmen.
OUCH.
It was nice meeting a number of you.
Ironically, I had to leave before the second dive and just barely made it home in time for an event, that got canceled while I was traveling back home as there was an medical emergency.

I was looking at that tank when it was sitting by the picnic tables and thinking about it -- at the depths and SAC we were averaging, a 120 would have been enough for a two-hour, fifteen-minute dive! (Or two dives in a row, I guess.) I just bought a 120 too, but have christened it my boat tank ...Xanthro:

Dear Beloved All:
It was so nice meeting, eating, laughing, diving, drinking, schmoozing with such a wonderful and thoughtful group of genuinely kind and caring people.
Lemme see, there are so many thank you's to hand out:
To my babysitters: the entrancing and "Zen master of the frog kick technique" Sapphire, the most giving, thoughtful, and teacher of "situational awareness" Headhunter, my drysuit guru Rickster, the welcoming Frank O, and "pretty red haired girl" DM/divebuddy Jackie.
My nonpareil divebuddy: Glycerin
The star celebrity hostess: Wrinkles
My tank toting pardner and Mr. Neutral Bouyancy: TechAdmin
My beer drinking and pizza slinging pardners: jetfixer, drjet, Ann Marie & Jamie, Doug and all others my one beer induced haze is making me blank out on.
The reason I became a doctor: WetRat and Wrinkles again.
The gracious and most prolific photog for letting me "mug" for his camera and his most brave, adventurous son/divebuddy Brandon: Riguerin (did we scuba in the SAME ocean?)
Steve for superhumanly catching my water heater steel 120 as I dork-ily attempted de-gearing after Christian dragged me around the ocean for 54 minutes.
ShakaZulu for excellent weenie burning
For all of you who put up with me, made me chuckle and welcomed me with smiles.
Xanthro, we gotta redo that first dive!
Sincerely,
the virgin drysuit wearin' uncontrolled ascent doin' hugging strange women perpetratin' free medical advice givin' gimonguous air suckin' cant wait for the next Wrinkles impatient surface interval waitin' eager to learn newbie dorkus. . . . . .

It was fantastic seeing you all!
We took up half of Heisler Park with our group!
Thanks again to Jim and Myrna for that really tasty birthday cake! That was a great dessert and I'm glad I ate it before my lunch. I did not want to get too full to eat cake, so I started with that!
I look forward to seeing many of you on the Spectre to Anacapa and Santa Barbara Island in a couple of weeks. For those of you are still planning to sign up for that trip, you need to call right away before the boat is full. (I don't think it's full yet.)
Next month we go to Casino Point for the Wrinkles Dive. I'll put the new thread up as soon as I get a chance.

Which shows you are much smarter than I am. LOL
Oddly, I purchased the big 120 for beach dives. Figured I could get 2-3 dives in. The AL 80 is good for between 90 and 2 hours depending on depth, but that's mostly boat diving. Didn't take into the consideration just how out of shape I am now.

Great seeing everyone yesterday. Had two good dives. I would've liked to stay longer, but unfortunately had some non-diving obligations. Hope to see/meet more of you at future events.
