Hudson and the Ranger 8/13/12

[LeoWhite]

First a Big thanks to Dusty and Eliseaboo!!!!! Two great dives today.

Saw my first Octo, a couple goofy lookin crabs, a couple nudis, and some other little fish(can't remember what dusty said it was), plus the plethora of other stuff that i expect to see when i dive the sound. I was happy with the vis and kudos to dusty for putting up with me being over weighted by 8 pounds, that sucked.

Then met up with Eliseaboo for the Ranger, vis wasn't even half as good as the point. Got to see another octo, drop down face to face with a good size sculpin, thought it was a rock! There were a few legal size crabs, too bad they were female :(

All in all, it was a GREAT day!!!!!

Thanks again you too!!! this was a great reintro/knock the rust off of my diving. I can't wait to do it again.

Nice report! Thanks for telling the story, and welcome back to the wonderful world of cold water diving in Puget Sound!

I've put up with a hell of allot worse and I love taking people out at Hudson and showing them all the life out there and seeing the enthusiasm and excitement.

Your welcome back anytime Leo

Yeah, it was a nice dive. I kinda like when the viz is bad occasionally, you can mess with all the kelp leaves and crab that you want to and it doesn't matter

Confirmed my suspicions that the Ranger is usually pretty murkey regardless of the tides, and that there is, in fact, nothing beyond the sand flats...
