2/25 Pilgrimage

Howdy Folks!
Several of us went to Pickles Deli and Keystone yesterday. Dang good sandwiches! Oh the diving was good too. But it was cold for some, I was the only one to do 2 dives.

It was my first dive with a pair of Hollis F1's. Yup this whole time I've been on split fins. OMG so nice!!

A great time was had by all!

A blood star on the top of the reef. This was about the only sun that peaked thru all day.

Holy Spock! Nice work YE! You found the aliens!!!

I agree those pickles sandwiches were freaken yummy!

It was great diving with you guys (JPA, StephenMartin, GearHead and we got to see old friends Like Tracy from Anacortes Dive & Kolleen and meet some new peeps too) yesterday in the 43' aka freezing cold water! Glad the snow stopped once we left pickles!

I love just love Keystone! We have the BEST Fish up here in the PNW!

Here are a few of my snaps. I only lasted 37 Earth Minutes then I had to come up for hot coffee.

Here are a few grabs from the video. I certainly felt clumsy and restricted back in a drysuit! Was good to pull the band aid off quickly though.

Yeah, it was cold - somewhere around 45 degrees. I nearly gave myself an ice headache when dropping for the first time in over six weeks. Keystone is still one of my favorite spots, and was a great place to get wet again. I found my moment of Zen while hanging amidst a school of Rockfish out at the end of the jetty.
