Haigh Nov 19th

[sobfrogg]

Come on out. Its the last chance to get wet(or dry) this season.

We will have the BBQ going and I will bring firewood for the warming house.

[do it easy]

Last Sunday of the season- you should be able to do a night dive around 5pm :D

Sounds like fun- I'll probably show up.

[DeepDiverBob]

If I'm still alive, I might try and make that one.

[MgicTwnger]

If I'm still alive, I might try and make that one.
Me too. Never too cold for fun.

[ppo2_diver]

I'm sure I'll be there.

[mudskipper]

I have nothin goin' on

[MgicTwnger]

Is anybody planning to be there Saturday as well as Sunday?

[juls64]

I am scheduled for a class but if it doesn't work out, I will probably show up.

Joe and Al might be going on Saturday. I have to call them about meeting up.

[sobfrogg]

I am working Sat. So I will have to settle for just Sun.

Scott

[MgicTwnger]

OK, I'll be there Sat & Sun for sure. Should I bring the sandpaper?

[ppo2_diver]

I'd say bring plenty of firewood.

[sobfrogg]

I have lots of FIREWOOD. I want to get there early to get the warming house. Last year the people that were in there did not want to share the little warming house, but they wanted MY wood..... NO HOUSE NO WOOD :)

But I will bring plenty of wood :) and some charcoal for the grill.

[mudskipper]

I could go either or both but I am a wet suit non-cavern, non-cave, non-tech... so Im not sure I can hang with you guys?? How's the temp?

[do it easy]

Sure, come on down... I don't dive much below 20 feet (on O2) :D

This is just a guess, but the surface temps are probably in the 50s and the bottom temps are in the high 30s/low 40s. That's do-able in a wetsuit, but you better be willing to share the house with sobfrogg so that you can stay warm in there between dives.

[mudskipper]

I'll share?

[MgicTwnger]

I'll share?
Sure. No problem diving with us at Haigh, you don't need cavern or any of that stuff. The place is neither deep nor difficult. Any problems, I know how to get help from the Russian navy.:D
The warming house is just a room with benches and a fireplace open to everyone.

[do it easy]

OK folks, don't forget! I'll be there both days. See all ya'll down there.

[mikiedfd]

Hey All. . .

I can dive Saturday, 18th. Can anyone want to dive late? I can't make it down to the quarry until like 1 or 2 pm. . . I don't want to drive down for one dive. :( Hopefully someone wants to do two or three, night dives :).

Let me know.

Thanks,

[do it easy]

What? One dive with me isn't good enough? What size tanks do you have?

[MgicTwnger]

Watch out for Tony: he's got GOLD FEVER!!

[juls64]

I am scheduled for a class but if it doesn't work out, I will probably show up.

Looks like I'll be teaching!

You all have fun!

[mikiedfd]

What? One dive with me isn't good enough? What size tanks do you have?

I'll have my 130's . . . So you'll have long enough to drain the tanks is what you're telling me? Ha!

[do it easy]

Yup, I'm bringing over 350 cft of gas! Of course, I'm leaving a set of doubles at home so I have something to dive on Sunday. :D

[sobfrogg]

Thats A Lot Of Gas

[ppo2_diver]

Tony's full of gas!!!

[do it easy]

Well this weekend was a blast! I dove with Ken, Mike and Dawn on Saturday and we enjoyed some of the best vis all year. Temp was 50f and no thermocline. Mike and I even did a second night dive after diving with Dawn.

Today, we had a bunch of fun and a bunch of doubles. I had a chance to talk with Scott, although we didn't get to dive. Thanks for bringing the wood! Duane led us on a leisurely dive around the shallow end. Afterwards I realized that I probably swam too fast on the first dive. Sorry if you got a workout. :D

Ken said he was congested and wasn't going to dive, but I have a feeling that he had to repay a favor to the Russian navy.

We spotted a paddlefish on the first dive today, but Dean said he saw two of them on his second dive.

It was great weekend to end the season at Haigh. Sure it could have been warmer, but that would just mean the season ends in the summer.

[MgicTwnger]

Yep, a fine end to the season. Great seeing/divining with you guys and no, I con never repay my debt to the Russian navy.

[sobfrogg]

It was a great day for diving. The vis was fantastic ans the bluegills are always fun to feed.
Tony it was nice to meet you and get a chance to share the warmth of the fire. Duane nice talking to you also. I am looking forward to the blending class this winter.
I just hope the smoke from the grill was not to thick for the group that had the fancy tent:p

A fine end of the season

[do it easy]

It ain't fancy no more. :D

[ppo2_diver]

It was good seeing everybody again. It was also good to finally meet Scott. Looking forward to that gas blending class. We had some fun dives today. That 110 minute dive really wasted my knees. I guess I'm just getting old!!!

[mikiedfd]

Thanks for a great day of diving on Nov 18 everyone. . . See ya all later.

[Dean810]

I already miss diving! I am so sad! March can't come soon enough!

[do it easy]

I'm going diving tomorrow- in Seattle! I'm going there for Turday day, and I just happen to be bringing some gear with me. :D

[nauifins73]

Turday day, :D

I won't complain about my mother-in-law cooking anymore.

[do it easy]

Good thing I didn't say anything like "eat your heart out!" :D

[MgicTwnger]

Have fun in Seattle! Two weeks from today I'm off for Tavernier (just south of Key Largo).

[Dean810]

I'm going diving tomorrow- in Seattle! I'm going there for Turday day, and I just happen to be bringing some gear with me. :D

I hope you have as good a time there as I did earlier this year. Great place to dive and great people to dive with! You might want to stay away from Hood Canal however. Oxygen deficiancy in the water has been causing a lot of fish kill. It has been a major, and apparently, man made problem.
