Several us went up to Keystone on Sunday 8/11. The morning tide was super low, the skies were gray, with maybe a little wind in the forecast and the tides a bit strong, but we decided to give it a go. Glad we did because the conditions weren't too bad and the reef was looking fantastic!
Dive #2 was scuba jess' dive #700!!! It was a great day with great friends. 4 cockerel's dorids, mossy heads, threelined nudis, longfin and roughback sculpin, yellowtail, ling, tunicates galore. I saw my first British Columbia Aeolid!! Thanks to Jan for the id (and for coming by to say Hi!). Pat G (who jess calls the queen of keystone) showed us some cool cranes living near by!
The afternoon dive was off slack but things seemed to slow down by the time we went in, so ended up having a 90 min dive without too much current on that one too!
Thanks for fixing the filesize issue Calvin!!

Nice work Jess! Sad that I missed out on a fun dive adventure. Keystone is so good right now!
Where did all the love go for the pilings? There's plenty to like 10 ft above the bottom, and the 1000 buffalo sculpin swimming around right now are highly entertaining, especially the males who think we are tying to steal their ladies hahaha.

Wow. We stopped at Keystone yesterday and I took pictures of the young herons. I wish I were still diving. Your pictures bring it all back for me. Thank you.

Just to come clean.
Me: " I'm in love with another woman."
Wife: "Who is it this time?"
Me: "Scubajess."
Wife: "Oh? Where did you meet her?"
Me: "I haven't. I've just read her posts."
Wife: "So it's like your previous affairs with Sophia Loren and Counselor Troi."
Me: 'Yeah."
Wife: "So I'm still stuck with you?"
Me: " 'Fraid so."
