LOL, Well we had an interesting weekend! I think I heard something about 115 divers for the clean up? It was interesting because the night before they had 2-1/2" of rain and the run off was silting the Harbor! The viz was pretty close to Zero in some places! We had the Green Pier and and hit the water at 9:30am with the sun out and shining for the moment! The Harbor had bands of silt and water that had a bout 12 to 15' of viz. My buddy Doug and I dropped in and headed out at about 15* heading for the 50' depth limit! Once we got to about 32' the viz got better and you could see the bottom. I got a few odd things in my bag and my buddy collected a couple more, including a child's folding chair, in the 55* degree water. We headed in a big U shape and came up near the steps at the main plaza for a 40 minute dive! (I brought back 1300psi)

They had $37000.00 worth of raffle prizes that filled the time slot from 1:00pm until after 3:30pm. Giving away a lot of nice stuff and awarding prizes for a number of categories of trash collected.

By a little after 4:00pm I was entering the water at Casino Point for a quick look around with the wind coming up and the sun gone the viz was down to about 20ft. The forecast for Sunday was rain and wind with 12ft to 15ft swells! So we decided to take the 10:30 fairy back just in case! It was a good time like always when divers get together. I donated a number of Reed's Rods and my Tiger Shark DVD, I hope the winners enjoy both! I saw a lot of old friends and met some new ones! All in all it was worth the trip!
