Heading for Port Townsend
Heading for Port Townsend
I'm on my way back to PT Wed. and will dive Thursday through Sunday weather permitting. Mostly early am dives though.
Sorry but that's the way momma nature planed it this month.

Re: Heading for Port Townsend
I'll have a better feel by Thursday, but yeah provided work doesn't get in the way I would be able to make an 830 splash. PT is only about an hour from me. I could leave here by 0645 and be there by 0745 (although I HATE early dives, I know in this situation tides control the time, but otherwise I like splash times at like 11).Dusty2 wrote:My dive buddy is off to south America so I could use a buddy.

eliseaboo has that same problem and she only had a 5 min. drive!
Sunday will be more later but the marker buoy dive club is coming up so it will be crowded and the current isn't as good.
Iffin us old geezers can get up that early you younguns can.

Hnnng. This is what kills me. I could be down in SA mooching at his condo if I wasn't in FREAKING GRAD SCHOOL.Dusty2 wrote:My dive buddy is off to south America...
*sigh* Okay, I feel better now. Sort of.
Have fun diving without me.
Re: Heading for Port Townsend
Wait. I thought you weren't diving Thursday.
Friday would be a no-go: I have to teach so I probably shouldn't show up with mask lines and hood head...

Doesn't look like I will be making it up to PT due to wind. So I'll be looking for new plans in the morning!

Re: Heading for Port Townsend
It's windy here? Must just be hitting at the wrong direction for Pt Hudson? I don't see so much as a leaf moving outside right now...
Re: Heading for Port Townsend
I'm joining up with my brother and some folks from Everett at Keystone tomorrow morning (my first time there, yay!). Somehow I doubt if ya showed up they would boot you out of hte group Catching the 08:00 ferry from PT...eliseaboo wrote:It's windy here? Must just be hitting at the wrong direction for Pt Hudson?

Wouldn't ya just know it? Last night it was blowing pretty good and raining like heck. Got up this morning and it was flat calm. Sorrykitsapdiver wrote:Doesn't look like I will be making it up to PT due to wind. So I'll be looking for new plans in the morning!
Had a good 70 dive, no current and pretty decent viz and the water was flat calm!

Re: Heading for Port Townsend
It was a horribly windy day here in Port Townsend today.
We finally caught a break!

Looks fabulous!
Sometimes the beat weather forecast is licking your finger and holding it up!
Wish I could have made it. Soon...

I hope you mean the index finger. Then again, sometimes you gotta do that to the weather...Tom Nic wrote:... licking your finger and holding it up!
Re: Heading for Port Townsend
In Port Townsend the best weather forecast is simply to look outside before donning your gear! and then it could change before you get into the water or worse yet AFTER you get in the water. More than once we have been down there in our drysuits and called the dive.Tom Nic wrote:Looks fabulous!

Re: Heading for Port Townsend
I was there for one of those... Three foot waves, whitecaps, blowing offshore. The weather wouldn't have stopped me, it was the wind direction: if we had an emergency and had to surface away from shore... WHOOSH! Next stop, Seattle. Or the ferry prop.
