The plan is always for the Carferry unless it is bumpy then we go to the Willy. Call or email to sign up, space is limited.

I'm guessing these are just 2 dives? Both on the car ferry, or is it split up one on the car ferry, and one somewhere else? I am interested, but not able to commit to anything quite yet.

I know I have a desire to start geting up there. These dates are 180 out for my schedule. I am in an every other week schedule situation and these are the "on" weeks.

Otherwise, Bob, I'd encourage a truckpool for Feb or Mar.

That is what I had in mind, too. You was on my short list of local invites.

Bummer...bit too far to drive for a single tank outing. I'll catch up with you in the spring/summer time.

Then you need to make more of it then "one dive". See the Titanic exhibit at the museum, make a weekend of it. But serious given the weather one dive is a reality, everyone ends of canceling the second and gear is frozen to the deck by then.

But DDB knows about frozen gear. Would be neet o see the differance of the Titanic musem up there and the one we have down here.

Historically about 30 percent go. A lot of guys signed up for everyone. We have had everyone be a go, and had everyone canceled, it varies every year.
