Possible dive on 4/27

[Wagon173]

lol for sure! I'm not sure what my wife has planned. Regardless of what it is, I'm sure she welcomes the idea of me seeing the light of day instead of burying myself in the black hole that is my machine shop. I've made plans to hopefully do three tree tomorrow so I shouldn't be completely out of my element on Saturday. Three new dive sites all in a few days! How exciting!

Wagon....would be great to have you join. This is my first dive in all my own gear so will be working out kinks as well. I can do any time on Saturday....It's saying rain now on saturday...so maybe parking won't be bad.

I will be in a black VW GTI or a redish surburban. Not sure which yet. Number is 425-281-4215.
So it seems like Alki is the one. What time works best? Wagon/sarinae? What works for you guys?

[Wagon173]

Would it be possible to knock them out in the morning? I'm taking my wife to her friends for a hoorah before we go to california so I'm sobor driving. My number is 707 218 0733

[seattlepaul1975]

I am good with am. What time you thinking

[sarinae]

I can't make it until about 11ish on Saturday. Just be warned that the tides have some significant exchanges in the mornings this weekend due to the full moon. Current could be an issue. I'll get down there when I can get away from the t-ball game. If I can catch you guys, great, but don't hold up diving just for me!

Wagon...what time works for you? Would be great if we all can meet up. not sure how late you can start.

[Wagon173]

Sorry I logged off last night without replying. 11ish should be good. As long as I can make it back to tacoma by 5pm I'm game for whatever works for you guys.

[sarinae]

Sounds good, guys. See you at 11ish at Cove 2. If you're unfamiliar with that location it is that park parking lot just after you pass Salty's. There are restrooms in that building. 2 hour limit on parking, so be prepared to move cars between dives or drive through and drop off equipment with a buddy and then find street parking. You guys diving wet or dry?

[seattlepaul1975]

I will be diving dry. I will hope to find street parking :-)
I will prob get there right around 11-11:15.

[Wagon173]

I don't mind moving spots or finding street parking. I'll be diving wet.

[Wagon173]

Oh yea, I'll be in a little red chevy aveo. it looks like a little red egg on wheels. I have the diver/army stickers on the back too so I shouldn't be too hard to spot :P

[seattlepaul1975]

I don't mind moving spots or finding street parking. I'll be diving wet.

Diving wet.....Impressive :-)

[Wagon173]

It's not too shabby. My face is the only thing that really gets cold. I went today for a short dive and my gear configuration was about as screwed up as a football bat. I'll definitely be adjusting weight, buying different clips for my lights and a bungee for my compass and last but not least I need to get a different set of gloves.

[seattlepaul1975]

Sounds like tomorrow will be a fun day of figuring out how we can make the square peg fit that round hole:-)

[seattlepaul1975]

Sounds like 3 of us total so far....any one else?

[rsc3000]

Is anyone diving tomorrow? I've got about 150 dives and I just want to get wet. All of my dive buddies are tied up.

[rsc3000]

Cove 2 @ 11?

[sarinae]

Yep, that sounds like the plan, 11 am cove 2. I think most of us are in for two dives. Sounds like we are all planning to work on improving trim and buoyancy, so this might be a bit of a working dive and some sightseeing too. I'm driving a silvery Toyota Sienna minivan, cell number 206 427 6998. Sounds like there are 4 of us then!

[Jimothy]

I'll probably make it for 1100 @ cove 2

[rsc3000]

Sounds good I'm about 6'1 250 in a blue g35...cu guys tomorrow

[seattlepaul1975]

Sounds great more for the fun!

I will be in a maroon suburban I am 6'1 with thinning hair and glasses. Yes feel free to make balding jokes :-)

[Jimothy]

I'll be there, white tacoma w/white canopy, in a Typhoon drysuit.

[sarinae]

Hey Jim! Great! See you around 11! Sounds like a nice group of folks out there, should be fun. ---Sarina

[seattlepaul1975]

Update. I will be in a blue Nissan cube. :-)

[Wagon173]

Thank you guys for your help getting into my car! Couple of cups of coffee and a hot shower later, I feel fantastic Sarina, those chocolates were amazing!
