Fred, that would be awesome if you could make it. I heard from some of the divers last year that it was pretty cool seeing how fast you were with those freediving fins.

Jean, now is that the story your are going to stick with???

Or are you planning some really great dive that you don't want anybody to know about ??? ...............

......seriously, major bummer! Hopefully you won't have to work terribly hard. 8)

Actually Igotoofar, I did a quick search on the Internet and found this:
Lake Rawlings...Near Virginia Beach, VA.
They have a night dive Saturday Night and a morning dive Sunday Morning!!!
65 feet max depth , 20 acres in size.
Spring water temps 45-60 degrees.

My story about work is still true!!! But if I can , you can't blame me for trying a Virginia dive site!!!!

Thanks again...Dive Safe...and have a wonderful time!!!
Jean Smile

P.S. Fred: I am honored you can stand in for me!!! Now I will know who is making the wakes while swimming... Wink

Fred,
Fast swimmer, no tank on back, dark color...hmmmm...don't be mistaken for a certain dam building aquatic mammal with SATSAB on the loose.

Jean,

If you make it diving in Virgina, let us know what the vis is like. I use to go to Virgina Beach as a kid and the water seemed a bit murky along the coast, but hopefully it clears up the further you go out. Have fun Smile

I was looking forward to meeting you Jean sorry you won't be there I doubt Fred can truly stand in your place ;D

Just to make sure: The McDonalds everyone is meeting at Sat Morning is how far from the dive shop (On Hwy 210 right)? ON the way to the pits.

One mile-right side. Look for the arches.

as long as Fred's teeth don't look like this > ;D , he'll be safe. I know a beaver when I see one, most of the time. Relatives or not, they're just pesky little tree killin', dam building, land flooding vermin!
Have you had your beaver today? Wink

Great day at Crosby!
Big turnout for the day - nomads and ed, lrmoll,gp,jasonbaker,linda, larry,danl,pete g,jason - think I have everyone. New drysuits, new bp/wings, etc etc to become familiar with, about 38F water below 30ft, and maybe 20-30ft viz made for challenging dives. That and a warm, sunny day made everyone pretty tuckered out by dinnertime.
A few were camping over Sat night to dive Sun am.
All-in-all, a pretty great early season dive day.
Thanks everyone, especially those that patiently waited while I slowly tried to get into my new gear.
