What a great day on the canal! Sunshine, rainbows, 40+' vis, bacon jam, and cloud sponges were just a few of the highlights of the day. Much thanks to Penelopypants for all her efforts that resulted in such a fun event.

Great pics everyone, lots of talent on the board :-) Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

Image
Resident wolf eel located in a pipe on the north side of the wreck. I have pics of this wolf eel from 18 months ago, when it was smaller and orange.

Image
Dinner time!

Image
Just a crab, but I love the rust color of these crabs.

Image
Mike and I saw several of these stubby squid eggs. One of these days, I'm going to see one hatch :-)

Image
Cool looking spaghetti tube worm.

Image
Warbonnet in the cloud sponges. Same one Mr. gdog photographed :-)

Have a great week out there, and great seeing everyone this weekend.

Wow, what awesome photos everyone! I guess you can all thank me for all the great critters out since I left my camera at home.
:angry:

What an awesome time. I already am looking forward to the next Club Dive- which by the way would be an appropriate time to celebrate our 10 year anniversary of NWDC!
