Re: Sitka 2016..

That was a great week of diving. I don't think we could have wished for better weather. We didn't make it to the hot springs, but we can save that for next year. The boys are out of school for spring break March, 11th through the 18th, So I need to start planning! I think we should dive the North si...

Re: New to forum...relocated from AK and unloading a few pieces of gear.

Hey Paul,

Sorry I missed this until now. But I'm glad I was able to hang out during your last visit to Sitka.

Anyway, good luck selling your gear, I'm certain you'll make some diver a very happy 'new' owner.

Cheers,

Jim

Hey Paul, it's Jim! :) Congrats on the new member of the family, and hope you're enjoying the Oregon sunshine. Are serious about selling all that for $60? The lead is worth three times that, not to mention the heavy duty harness! Anyway, I'll bump the thread and hope someone needs a weight harness. ...

Re: Sea star die-off

Did my annual volunteer dive at Sitka Natioanl Historic Park on May 19th and could not find a single Sunflower Star. I did find 1(one) Giant Pink Star and several leather stars.

Magic Island is also devoid of large Sunflower Seastars.

Also, I found the wasting disease thread:

That was great, thanks for sharing. I cannot remember if the wolfies up here were free swimming more often in the early summer or not, seems I remember that they did.

Herb,

I spoke to Grace's step dad, who was just in town and he was asking his son in Spokane about dive sites.

I'll e-mail you all the names and phone numbers. And BTW - Are you going to have wheels while you're there? The missile silos could be worth the 3 hr. drive.
