"Except me"????? What does that mean, you might ask? Well.....on dive # 1 on Tuesday morning I FLOODED MY FRICKIN' CAMERA!!!!!! It was insured, so I'm sure that a replacement is on the horizon....but I was totally unable to take any photos after that and it darned near broke my heart! It was my own damn fault and I felt like screaming several times after it happened....
AFTER (of course!) I flooded my camera we saw Steller Sea Lions, breaching Humpback Whales, and a pod of Orcas, including two big males along with a mom with a "teenager" and what looked like a yearling in tow. on the way back to the Hideaway from watching the Orcas we had a brief view of a group of Pacific White-sided Dolphins chasing some fish near the surface.....sigh.
Despite my camera woes, (AND an incredibly painful hip!), it was a gorgeously beautifully wonderful trip with some great folks, and I'm hoping that the other NWDC members that went along will post some of their pics here. Warbonnets, Puget Sound King Crabs, Giant Pacific Octopuses, Wolf-eels, soft corals....all there in glorious abundance....sigh.
BTW, Lynne....Did I mention that we dived Nakwakto????
