Northwest Dive Club

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.

Penopoloypants? Cruise Director extraordinaire?

+1

And I vote for Redondo.... seems like we had a uber killer one there last time

Oh...I could be persuaded.

Let me think about the dates. I'm out of town the weekend around the 4th, but the rest of the month I'm open.

+1000000000000000

Depending on how many people could make it on a Tuesday, we could have the club celebrate my birthday on the 20th

Just FYI, DATC is the 15th-16th. While I hope lots of NWDC members participate in that, maybe another day would be better for a club dive.

Tuesday? I could do Tuesday, I think.
Actually,Tues, Wed, Thurs, or Friday would work for me.

I've missed the last couple of club dives, because they happen to fall on a Saturday and that is right in the middle of my work week.



+1 for Redondo!

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.

I vote for the weekends of July 9-10 or 30-31, because those are the only two I'm not already booked in July.

Is it just me, or do we (folks who live in the PNW) try to cram everything into July??? Sigh . . .

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 ...

Salt Water State Park might be another good (different) option. Bit of a swim to the reef, but gives everyone a chance to work off Ppant's cake.

:angry:

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...

July 9/10 & July 30/31 are the only 2 free on the Funk Family Calendar, so I think I can speak for both divers in Casa Funk when I vote for those.

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 ...

... Bob (Grateful Diver)

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....

Okay, Saturday July 9th, at Redondo!

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.

What? A club dive, you say? I might just dust off the drysuit for this event.

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???

I vote for sunday... With scooters

I could be talked into a Saturday, and Sunday Club Dive. I mean dang I have to dive two days in the same weekend. That's a great problem to have.

July 9th should be good for me.

Saturday sounds good but I'm game either day
