I'm here to tell you that 3 days of Norhtwest diving is good for the soul but hell on the mind & body for the next week as you try to get caught up on editing, surveys, dive reports, the work you blew off to dive & the work that still has to be done. Here's my highlights from a recent adventure in Port Townsend all spent at Dusty2's haunt Point Hudson. It seemed to be a migration as I made the long drive, Blackwater came up from Portland, Dusty2 is from Tacoma, & we ran into Octoloco & hubby in the "dive machine"who I found out are from my neck of the woods. I find myself wondering if anyone in PT is aware that they have a kickbutt dive site there??? All the out-o-towners are sucking it up.
Anyway thanks to Mr. Blackwater for being my buddy for the day. I have to share a little humorous anecdote at his expense. My 12yr old son came with me. At the end of the day he asks,"What was that guys name?" "Bric" I replied. -momentary pause..."thats appropriate" my son says..."That guy is huge!"
Back away from the weight bench Bric, your scarin my kids! I wondered why he was being so good the whole time. he was afraid you were going to kick his a$$.
Anyway, to be honest, this wasnt one of my best trips over & I was real disappointed because I have hyped it up & invited a friend but it was still 3 good dives & one has to consider that a) The vis isnt great anywhere right now & b)I did sunrise on the 6th, and c) I did Deception pass on the 7th. We're talking tough acts to follow. I did muk yesterday & it felt like yuck after those 3 days of diving.
I'm just gonna throw down a bunch-o-pics here & say that this site has everything you could want but it clearly has seasons for different parts of it & different critters. It's worth the drive any time regardless.
Fair winds & calm seas,
MJ

Re: Port Townsend 5/8 recap
Thanks for the laugh. I probably had a better dive experience than you because it was a new site for me. I thought there a lot of critters and the colors were great.
Thanks for a nice day!
