[MgicTwnger]

I'm putting togeather a group to dive on the Enterprise out of Waukegan all day Sat. 7/29 and the morning of 7/30. Interested?

[Captain Caveman]

I will have to see. but it sounds like a good time :)

That's what I'm planning on.

All of them (except pour moi). I just called Dale this morning.

[Captain Caveman]

I'm trying to make it on Sunday. Saturday dives are hard for me to get my gear readdy when I get off of work at 800. but right now my schedual is changed to 6pm so i might go for sat too. not sure yet. have to see.

[MgicTwnger]

Hope you can make it, Chris.

[DeepDiverBob]

I dont recall seeng the reservation on the schedule on captain dales web page.

When I spoke with Dale yesterday he said that he was having a problem uploading changes to that page. In other words, it's out of date.

I just called and left him a message...I'm in.

[DeepDiverBob]

Was that a Days Inn we stayed at up there? Do you have the number for that place?

[MgicTwnger]

Yep. 847-249-7778

[DeepDiverBob]

okay, got my room reserved, too. I am officially in.

How do I book it? Are you in charge, Ken? Or do I e-mail or phone someone with a credit card number?

Come on guys, room for four more.

[nitroxbabe]

Howdy ya'll -

Bet you thought I'd fallen off the face of the planet. Not so.

I've been out of commission for quite a while with ear problems and I finally got the problem diagnosed properly. And it only took 5 Dr. visits. Turns out I've had a sinus infection going on for a couple months. I wonder if the 4 doctors who couldn't figure this out will give me a refund... hah.

At any rate, it should be cleared up in short order and I'll be ready to dive!

What wrecks ya'll talking about doing? I might be able to fill up the rest of the boat....

:)

Carla

[MgicTwnger]

Yo Carla! Glad to see you're back in business!
I havn't talked w/Dale about specific wrecks yet, but I sure wouldn't mind doing the Wisconsin again. I'm up for about anything this side of 130'.

[nitroxbabe]

Hiya Ken!

Hmmm maybe we could do a couple dives (or 1 deco dive) on the Wisconsin...

If we're doing the whole day on Saturday, I know Dale can take us to just about anything we like...

Carferry Milwaukee is pretty cool...

Wrecks I'm not interested in doing include the Lady Elgin and the grain barge...

Any comments and/or suggestions?

I'm with you on the Elgin and grain barge. Last day and 1/2 with Dale we did the Wisconsin three times. Carferry Milwaukee sounds good too.

I second that. The grain barge was neat once, but wouldnt want to do it again.

My only request is that we dive where we can see something other than "quarry slime" on the bottom! ;)

Oh, and its my fault that stuff is always planned when I am busy!

Actually, I will be coming down your way to go to Roubidoux. It may not be until early November, whenever the cavern class is held, but I will be down there. I'll let you know when the dates are posted. The instructor we had holds the class every year. We plan to be tag-a-longs this year.

Anyone making Labor Day plans yet? I might be able to schedule something then too.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, was out of town.

Steve - are the "tuchies" the ones on the top or the ones on the bottom? :) I guess either way we don't want them filling the boat... heh heh

I grew up near NYC and went to the U of Miami. A nice goyim mensch like me, go figure.

With you and Kurt we have five, so room for two more. I don't think anyone wants to do heavy deco but I'm sure we'll incurr a bit.

Groovy, goyim. :)

I'll ask a couple of friends about it. Who knows, maybe I can scare up more people for ya'll on your Sunday dives.

As for "heavy deco", if I plan a lake dive that exceeds an hour I freeze my tuchis off, so that's not going to be an issue for me. But if we plan to do deco, we'll probably only do 2 dives rather than 4.

[MgicTwnger]

OK, here's the way I count it:

Five for Saturday: me, Bob, Bill, Carla, Kurt.

Three for Sunday: same minus C & K.

Anybody else?

[DeepDiverBob]

If its just us three, does that mean the trip is a no go? Need 4 to make the run, correct?

[MgicTwnger]

Yep, 4 divers minimum. I'll let Dale know and he hopefully can find some more divers like last time.

I'm still waiting for an answer from one friend, but otherwise most of my dive buddies are booked up for the weekend already.

But we're still in. We may stay the night - where are you guys staying Ken?

Went out in lovely Pearl Lake yesterday to test out the doubles and do some drills. The vis was spectacularly bad where the students had been (2-5 feet) but improved up to 15+ elsewhere. :)

I've spent most of my life around the ocean. I grew up at the Jersey shore, went to college in Miami, worked as a mate on head boats, and even ran a charter boat. And I've allways gotten sick! It seems to have gotten worse as I've gotten older but I finally have found the answer: scopolamine. It was one of the best days of my life when I discovered that patch.

I remember you sitting on the Len-Der looking pretty green one time. You definately have my sympathy - it happened to me twice, and it was so horrid I always take something for it now, just in case. Eccch.

[nitroxbabe]

Hey kids - just checked the weather forecast - they're calling for 1-3's at worst all weekend. Looks like we should have a perfect day for it on Saturday.

Also, I talked to Dale and the boat's filled up for Saturday at this point. He won't be able to join us this weekend so Dave will be our captain.

Looking forward to it! See ya'll Saturday ... Carla

Per his web site...

Visibility is now 60 feet!
Surface temp is 70 F; Bottom temp is 59 F at 70 feet.

Considering how squeezed a wetsuit is at 130' it dosn't have to be very cold to be uncomfortable.

I have dove my 5 mil to 145 feet in RBD, and that is around 52 degrees..I am just trying to get a feel for what I need. I will wind up bringing both.

It is best not to put too much faith in visibility and temperature reports, even mine. The temps and visibility change, literally, depending on which way the wind blows. The temp at 100 feet and deeper, last weekend was 10 or 12 degrees lower than the temp at 70 feet. Also, remember that a wetsuit is nearly completely compressed at a depth of about 70 feet.

[reefraff]

Probably still in the 50's, though everything depends upon the wind. We were out last night and the topwater was in the high-70's, bottom temps in the mid-50's, visibility was excellent and the waves were gentle rollers to about 1 foot and calming with winds a gentle 2-4kt from the SW. If the wind picks up from the SW, Sunday might get a little chillier on the bottom but it's looking good...

I did some research on the lake temperatures today, and I found that the bottom temps at the Wisconsin were 43f with 40' of vis, although I'm bad at estimating the vis when it's more than 10'. :D For the home audience, we were able to get in one dive, but we caught the edge of a huge storm just as we were finishing the first dive. After that, the mooring line parted and it was too rough to hook the other mooring. Thanks goes to Dave and Kurt, who tried to get us a second dive, but had to call the dive due to safety reasons.

For my first and only dive, I spent 20 minutes on the deck. I poked around a little in the bow and then headed to the stern. The Wisconsin is a wonderful wreck and she certainly puts on a show every time.

It was a pleasure meeting Bill, Rick, and Vitale, and of course, Bob and Ken were good to have around again. Thanks for the good company. Lastly, thanks to Carla for bringing the cookies. :D

No thanks to me for letting you use my gear? That hurts. :eek:

I, too, got in just a single dive on the Wisconsin today. But mine was planned to be a single dive. With my trusty dive buddy theskull in the lead, we went down and did some penetration on the Wisconsin. I think my Smart Z thermometer is off a little bit.I was getting 35 degrees at 120 foot. My VR3 was telling me 42. Minor deco was accumulated, and that was a good thing. The poop was just starting to hit the fan when we surfaced(on the wrong mooring line.)

I got in two dives yesterday, before the heat got the better of me.

[theskull]

Excellent dives!! All 4 of them. So glad to have been invited and able to go. Nothing but good people involved all around.

And my computer recorded a bottom temp of 41 F on the Wisconsin. A slight correction, Bob--we did indeed ascend the wrong mooring line thanks to my being in the lead - BUT - we surfaced on the correct mooring line thanks to the strong surface current pulling at our boat until the 2 mooring lines crossed each other. Ya live right, and some times ya get rewarded with a break!

Hey, thanks, now I don't feel so bad doing the wrong crane ball on the Speigel Grove ;-)

A couple tips for this, which Bob and I remembered AFTER we completed the dive:

*Tie a bandana or a strobe light, or clip a clothes pin to the mooring line at the bottom before you leave it so you can recognize it when you return.

Always glad to make others feel better by sharing my many mistakes with them. ;)
