This past weekend was my first time back in the water after a long long long .... long long long long .... (you get it) time, and Grateful Diver and I both agreed that a club dive would be SWELL and we both agreed that July would be even SWELLER, since
life and times are a'busy until then.
Life isn't like a box of chocolate's, life is like a box of chocolate and horse bisket's and no matter which one you get you have to keep on chewing...
When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.

I hoped the little angels would make it clear I was just clowning around when I suggested a Tuesday. At this point, any day of the week works for me, so I'll go with the majority and/or the club dive planners.

July 9-10 is quite doable ... July 30-31, not so much unless y'all want to play pencil monkeys on the pilings again ... gotta check those tidal exchanges, yanno ...

Well ... that's the four week-ends when you can count on decent weather around here ...

Story of my life... Of course with the weather July and August are the only months where it just might be above 50 degrees, although this year even that's not a guarantee...

I vote for July 9-10 ... and someplace besides Redondo.
I also think Saltwater SP might be a good choice ... it's been two years since we were there last, and those reefs should have some good life on 'em by now.
Another possibility would be Alki Pipeline. It's an interesting dive, and there's usually places to park nearby ...

Redondo is always good, but if we want to do someplace different and it's between Saltwater and the pipeline, I'd vote for Saltwater just because it has more parking. But again, I'll go with the majority.

Redondo is good and easy... If it's a day with a fairly flat exchange Saltwater would be very cool!
My only plea is for a Saturday....

If I could request a Sunday club dive some day, that would ROCK!!! I fear that I may be the only Saturday worker so my request probably doesnt pull much weight, but a Sunday club dive, one of these times, would be great.

Yer not the only one who work's Saturday's Rick... I too work most of them... Perhaps We could do more than one Club dive and one of them could be on a Sunday???
