Wrinkles January '07 Dive Planning Thread - La Jolla

[Divmstr223]

Yes but, your not going to be making a 2 hour drive to get there.

Guess it will be a game day decision.

I'm making a two hour drive to get there...

It's supposed to be a high of 54 degrees and partly cloudy; winds 5-10 mph. So the ambient weather looks good for Saturday.

I guess the only variable is the surf....and hopefully it won't be too bad.. but either way, it will be a good time. Just keep your fingers crossed and make the drive.

Ugh, I HATE writing this. Just sprung on me that I am taking new divers on a night dive Saturday night at Redondo as the final part of my DM training. I will miss you all greatly and shoot, would even drive the 2 plus hours just for the camraderie.

Dive safe you guys, and see you on the Peace, as well as the next Wrinkles!

Gonna miss you most Dr. Bill!

I think of all these events as "rain or shine" events. After all, we're going for the purpose of getting wet.

From what I can see on weather.com it's going to be sunny tomorrow, so I don't think this will be an issue.

I'll be making my 2 and a half hour drive this afternoon. I'm hoping to be done working at around noon and then hit the road shortly thereafter.

Johnny,

We'll do some dives in honor of you and the rest of the visitors who have join us from around the world.

I understand that you've got some cool dives planned in 2007, so take a couple of dives in clear warm water for us too!

I just wanted to let everyone know that there are now 2 spots open for Sunday's Post Wrinkles Sunday Boat Dive for Sunday morning. We'll be back to the dock by about noon, so that you can get home at a decent hour.

The cold that's going around has opened up 2 spots.

It's 2 tanks in the morning and we're going to dive The El Rey and The Ruby E.

Here is the link to the thread with all the info:

It would be cool if some more of you could join us!

Well, I'm packed and ready to go.
Even picked myself up a new steel tank.

Looking forward to meeting some new freinds.
I'll be easy to pick out..I'm the ugly guy with the big nose, please say hello.
