Life can be short and dives even shorter. Time off work will put it all in perspective.

Does that mean we're running to St, Lazaria? My "new" boat needs an ocean run before gets cranky again.

It will have to be Saturday or Sunday. Work on Friday and need to be around for Grand Jury.

5 divers is about right. Should pack 5 guys and 20 tanks without much issue. We might have to stash some of the tanks and lead in the cabin.

Would like to dive on the Rascal while we're there and score some portholes. :pirate: I know right where it is, and there's an anchor outside the small cave I'd like to grab...... So much to do... Maybe we should go both days?

Thanks Herb,

I'll be rockin' my twin 72's with a cheater bar and vintage, mid 1950's Healthways harness.... And since Rick thinks Double hosers are sexy, I'm gonna set him up with a Pheonix.

Also heard from Brady. He's got a fund raiser at the fire hall in Saturday, he's working Sunday, but wants to dive St. Lazaria on Monday. Can we do St. Lazaria on Saturday and Monday? That would give me Sunday to finish digging the drainage ditch in my drive way.

Looking forward to diving some vintage gear (i think). Either way I am bringing my doubles set up too (regs, and what not). I actually fly out Monday at 2pm so pretty much done diving Sunday at 2pm too, to give my self some off gassing time before the plane.

I know we are doing Thursday midnite, Friday whatever I can get, Saturday whatever I can get, and if we can get some early Sunday too that would be the poop.

Dave,

Have you dove in Magoon Pass? I think it's called the Eastern Krestof Channel on the charts.....

Anyway, I was there fishing last Friday and I pulled a few nice Black rocks off the Kelp forest side of the Channel, nearer to Magoon Island than Krestof Is. Might be a nice Sunday morning dive. Wouldn't be too deep for Rick either, since he's flying the next afternoon. :calvin:

If it turns out to be a crapping dive, we can always run down to Crow Pass for a second late morning dive. That's where we were diving with the silver's 3 years ago. Wouldn't mind diving it again, since I haven't been there since.

Also, Norris left me a subtle reminder about the birthday beer I promised him in May. Sounds like Sunday night we'll be out on the town. :partyman:
