It was a good one. Not as nice as the July trip, but still darn good.
Tom Edwards had performed his usual magic and he had rented a house so
for a mere $75 Each (that's the total cost each for two days) we had a
really nice house, baths, kitchen and central location. Historically
we've paid upwards of $110 a night for a motel room.
Saturday we got blown out - no joy. We spent the day in various
places either visiting the graveyard of the Atlantic museum (where the
Enigma cypher machine from U-85 is displayed), flying kites, riding
ferry's, sunning, looking for wrecks we could dive from the shore,
etc. It was nice weather and a good bunch of
folks.http://www.divehatteras.com
Sunday we headed out with Capn Dave and his crew to visit the Proteus
and the Dixie Arrow. The Proteus had a light surface current, and
80 feet of viz in water around 80 degrees in temperature. Lots of sea
life with the bait fish population starting to grow, sharks teeth in
the sand, etc. Tom Edwards, and Tim (I've been seasick before)
Manville worked their wreck reel techniques to finish up Tim (Maybe I
shouldn't have eaten the sausage sandwich) Manville's Wreck Diving
training. http://www.divehatteras.com/wrecksites.htm
The Dixie Arrow had no current, 80 feet of viz, 80 degree water, toad
fish, grouper, tons of bait fish, several sand tigers, two that were
7-8 feet in length, spade fish (one with its own sucker fish), rays,
etc. Tim (I can't believe I feel this bad) Manville was going to sit
out the second dive, but he gladly changed his mind and had a
wonderful dive.
We surfaced on the second dive to enjoy watermelon and pineapple.
Most of us napped on the nice ride back into the dock.
Thanks to Tom Edwards for organizing, thanks to the young Craig Goheen
for opening up the house, Thanks to Kelly Goheen for closing the house
(and picking up after all the men). Thanks to Tim (I'm going to try
the patch) Manville, and John DeDeian for rounding out the bunch with
good stories, good attitudes, a more than capable diving skills.
