Paulicrap and I were the only ones to show up last Monday to enjoy an hour long, 0 current dive. We found a little juvenile wolfeel out in the brickyard that I want to get back and visit with a working camera.

Anybody else in for this Monday? I'll bring a loaner canlight as added incentive.

Between the NOAA pier and the old refueling pier, Roughly 40-70 feet of water. I'm not sure if something fell into the water there, or if the Airforce just used to throw stuff they didn't need anymore into the sound, but there are large chunks of metal, concrete and bricks scattered across the bottom. It's a great place to go to look for little stuff, baby wolfeels, red octos, nudibranchs, little sculpins etc.

I think I am able to start making dives again, so I think I can make this one. Not sure about dive #1 but dive 2 for sure. Anyone else in for dive 2?

Dude, by the time I leave work at 5, drive over, take the ferry, and find you guys...you're all drunk anyway. Hell, might as well just Skype me in at that point, the effect would be the same...

BUT...at least I know where you'll be :P And I might actually track you all down in a few weeks...it's been too long since I spent way too much money on one dive...

A local old timer told me the bricks were part of a sawmill kiln that was on a pier located there. It makes sense since the bricks are primarily fire brick and the stumps of the old pilings are located there. I have found firebrick near the old fuel pier that I associate with the brick that lined to boilers of steam ships. The local historical society says that a few Navy ships were moored there for awhile after WWII. I remember replacing boiler firebricks on my ships and the repair personel conducting "flotation tests" on the worn brick.

p.s. I haven't asked my wife yet, but I hope I can make the first dive.

I think I can make dive 1. Not 100% sure atm, but I will post again at noon today with a definitive answer.

Okay, so I think I am just going to head up for dive #2. I assume people are still going to that? If it ends up being cancelled, someone text me. Number is 541-408-7197

I will have to pass on tonight. Have a good dive.
