65 degrees?! Now that's El Nino, or the volcano, or something!

Very punny. She said a "cool" place to dive.

Man, someday, me and my little boat will make the long journey up the inside passage, diving all the way to Alaska and back.

Just got to win me the lottery or find me a sugar momma so I can quit that pesky job I have to do for the most part of the year. It sure does get in the way of diving.

Hey guys Diver Dave is the real deal! He has a great Boat, Tanks, Weights and a fantastic personality. Diving in Sitka is a real treat!

Like Tom said to me "It's allot like diving around here, but on steroids"


Every thing is bigger and the vis can be awsome!

You're kidding, right? :-)

Dave's a great host, and we were happy to kick in for fuel, etc, but if we had paid for the boat, lodging, grub, etc it would have cost a pretty penny indeed! (Yeah, what Bassman said...)

Well Tim, did you get the number of any of those 'bridesmaids' on Saturday? I don't know if they would have been very good 'sugar mommas' as they couldn't afford underpants.. But it would have been worth a try...

Technically the folks visiting the photo contest last weekend weren't invited to the wedding either. Although we did get an inside look into the Bride's trials and tribulations as she yelled very loudly at her father on her cel phone pre-nuptuals.. And most of the bridesmaids were sans underpants as one so generously showed us as the wind picked up in front of the Depth Chargers photo contest sign.. Good times all around.. Those who missed the photo contest, missed A LOT..
