I met Martin, Shane, Eric and Rex for a dive Sunday morning. They had the day off, and were doing back-to-back. I had to work, so I joined them only on the first.
Eric lead out, and after a little confusion with his compass, we all made it to the bus, then followed the line to Al's car, rock crusher where we hung out for a bit (and Rex tried to coax me into the cold), the SS Minnow, another car and back to the bus. It was getting late for me, so we split and I headed for the entry point while the group headed for the plane off the left of the back of the bus.
Not very good visibility, but better than expected. My mask kept fogging up, and may have added to the vis problem. I forgot that I had taken my defogger off my BC while traveling, so I borrowed Martin's. He uses "Frog Spit", which is more of a liquid. You're not supposed to rinse it out, and I think some of it got washed when we were floating around waiting for Rex to suit up and get in.
Only saw a couple of bass in the grass near the end of the road bed (I think that's where we were).
Fun day!
