LOL!!
that's priceless!
nah....I was in San Diego for about 5 days (got home the same day the fires started showing up on the news) --- and then I spent last week, unpacking, catching up, and coordinating an event for my dive club, "Las Vegas Divers"....oh, and working, a little. LOL! (I have to do that once in a while during the day to convince my boss that I'm worth keeping!
)
oh! and BTW.....I logged my 55th dive on Friday!
Yup, I volunteered to be "event coordinator" for my dive club...and our first event was friday, October 26th.....it's a state holiday "Nevada Day".....so I called it the
"Las Vegas Divers First Annual Nevada Day and Night Dive!".
Twas 3 dives, one afternoon, one twilight, and one night dive.
We had a potluck dinner with tons of food, fried chicken, sandwiches, and the best potatoe salad in the whole world!
I had 10 people show up, 9 divers, and one family member came along just to enjoy the festivities!
The afternoon dive was a long one, (6 divers) in an easy cove, about 69 degrees at 60', with several bass, bluegill, striper, etc. (the usual cast of characters!) making appearances.
the twilight dive had 7 divers, though a group of three returned halfway into the dive due to one diver having a bit of a problem with his reg at about 60'.
The last dive was the BEST. Only 4 of us stuck around for it...but all the better. We were diving under a HUGE full moon. The catfish were all out and seemed totally unconcerned with the divers putting them in the spotlight. The vis was Good for the lake -- maybe 18' - 20' or better? (wow!) and we dove shallow (deepest point was 37') and long (just about an hour), and near then end a couple of us laid on our backs in the grass and just watched the moon through 25' of water for a little while. LIFE IS GOOD!
On the surface we dried off, packed gear, then sat around sharing dive stories til midnight, muching on the last of the sandwiches and cookies. I finally rolled in around 2am, then slept till 11am on Saturday.
I'm sorry I keep disappearing on you guys!!
I hope the dive report makes up for it....at least a little?
Where's Vegas?
