Comments and Feedback
Thanks to those hardy soles who were not deterred by yesterday's nasty weather and the rescheduling of this dive against debris. A big shout out to Marcus S for rallying the available troops. Thanks to Kaitlin C for rounding up a couple bags of debris with me. A salute to Ty S, Johnny O and Jennifer W for bagging a whack of debris found on the beach and amongst the rocks of the breakwater. Their finds are not totalled here but they were significant. They easily win for the largest single piece of debris removed!! And finally, thank you to Ty for the BBQ, JW for the cookies and Magoo for the zucchini bread. Can I thank myself for baking? I just did. The sour weather yesterday smacked our dive roster in a very big way. Most hands were simply just not available for today but I trust they joined us in spirit. Pics to follow.
