Hey J,
Did you get any good pics?

[Winter]

3 different pink tritonias, a small ling under a part of the barge, a cockel, some scallops, Kelp and dungie crabs, an unidentified crab, some pics of dirona nudies and some dorids. Proof of octos, shrimp and rock fish as well as egg casings I found in the mud. I'll send em out to Daniel at the nrnc. The data collecting has begun! Can't post pics on this site with my iPhone tho, that's what fb is fo. Hopefully I can find the other barges next go.

you're gonna do that swim again?!!

[Mongodives]

winter, you forgot how long a swim it is already?
I'm sure its going to be 3-4 months before I forget and agree to do it again.

[BASSMAN]

Yeah, I did the swim, now where's my t-shirt?

I guess I'll have to make one up. Anyone got a good idea for a Tolmie, shore dive t-shirt?

Something like: "Hey, where are you guys diving? Can I join you?"

I'm glad I did it, but that's about as far as I'm willing to admit.

An hour of driving and traffic or the 30 minute surface swim? Sorry boys, I dug it.

[Mongodives]

Granted Tolmie is close for those of us who are in the greater Olympia,Tumwater,Lacey area.

I had a most EXCELENT time! The swim was WAYYYYYYY easyier than I remembered and the dive had FAR more than I remembered also... I had a dive ... We only made it to one of the barges but had a wonderful time on it and playing around the tires was very cool... and now that I have my Pee valve installed I won't have to swim freakishly fast for that 30 minute swim in

It was great to have met Mongo (Im gonna call him Grizzly Adams though! ) and Bassman... though I do feel sorta jipped cuz MZ didn't bring me T A C O' S...... make sure ya bring your tanks in empty next time Mike... I got a surprise for ya!

Thanks to all for being there, and a BIG thanks to Winter for unzipping my suit JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME!!!!
