Nailer, Cuppie and Myself are leaving my house in Issaquah, at 12 noon. Well, we are meeting at noon to load gear and the leaving, we are bringing 11 tanks, so by the time we strap them in Nailers ride and load all our gear safely so nothing blows up it will be 1230 at the latest. See you all in Hoosport.

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
STAIRS.
I found a friend to dive with! I think we might dive Sund twice in the morning, bbq with you-all, then dive Octo Hole afterwards. If hit the water by 10, should be done with Sund by 12:30 or so. Where will you be grilling lunch?

Holy earlyness Batman!??!??!! When do you sleep? Hopefully, not while diving (or driving). I'm a night person, so I cannot fathom waking up that early for just about anything. Talk about dedication...
Great day of diving Saturday at Sund and Octapus. Glad I ran into you guys at Sund. Wish could have stayed all weekend. Looking forward to your next diving party!
Yes a great day indead!!! Sund rock is a fantastic place to dive! I must have seen 7 wolfies,a skate,Big nudies,. Man that was a great trip and a great success. Finally got to meet more members from the board. All different skill levels and everone had a good time. lets do this again soon..
Anytime, DD! That was AWESOME! Saw my first Wolf eels, first Giant Nudibranch, first skate, and first dogfish! The dogfish stalked Calvin and I for a pretty good while on our night dive last night, and charged me a couple times! I had to defend myself. That was hard to do with Calvin hiding behind me and screaming the whole time, but I managed!
That screaming you heard was me rooting for the dogfish Nailer
I had an awesome time folks, I'll write more later, I'm exhausted. I just wanted to say a quick thank you to Maverick for putting this together and to everyone that came out to Hood Canal. I wasn't sure how it'd all turn out but I have to say that this was one of the best dive trips I've ever had. What a great crew we have.
Sorry that I missed the majority of it...but Tim and I did come out in the early afternoon...
I finally got to meet Sparky...Woo Hoo!!! What a great guy and his wife Mollie is a lot of fun and very nice...
There was a couple of others that were still there that we didn't get to meet since we were busy gearing up to dive.
Our dive was very cool, I was glad viz wasn't as bad as I had heard...
Great dives and hope to meet more of you soon...or at least see ya again at Cove 2

What a great time I had! Jim #1 and I saw the wrecked ship at Sund Beach today. It was probably in the neighborhood of 30 ft long and 15 ft tall. It was something straight out of the discovery channel. We saw 2 lion's manes in one dive and the biggest lingcod I have ever seen ... ever. Not to mention my first octopus on Saturday's night dive. Thanks again for the great dives and great company, and Michelle and I hope to meet up with everyone again soon.
It sure was fun meeting all of you this weekend. And Sparky and I sure had a dive to remember. I will never forget that 8' 6 gill [my very first real shark] or the mad large Dog Fish Shark. Thanks for the fun boat dive Sparky.
Since those that I was going to take out diving wimped out oops, I mean were hung over, no, no.no, were not able to go on the Zodiac today. You missed a great day of diving. I did two long dives at new sites. Had a blast. Spent over 7 hours on the water, I sure did not want to come home. See all of you again.
Special thanks to Mav and Sparky and all the others who worked so hard in putting this together.
Let's do it again!!
Hey guys, if you can, when you get rested, it would be great to get some detailed dive reports from each of you for this weekend. Bassman started the so-far-lonely Hood Canal Dive Report thread... Hope to see some of the weekend reports there. Break them up if it's easier... we want to hear!!
I guess I am going to have to get one of those laser pointers and find out for myself. ](*,) I wish I had been there to see them. Post a report on that dive letting us know how many and how they reacted.
What grate time I am so glad we decided to do this. I am working on my dive reports and wil be sure to post them when I get them all done
a speacial thanks to Charles for the 6 gill dive I love that site we have to go there againe real soon
It was sure nice to have faces to place with the names, I agree with Tom I think my Mollie and Riley had as much fun as I did
thanks to every one for makeing them so welcome.
the food was grate almost as good as the diving. the best part was I got to see old friends like Charles againe and made some new friends as well
I noticed we were all plugging the club to every diver we would meet
so this weekend if nothing else was good for getting our name out there and now more folks know about us.
