The coves should be fairly sheltered from the seas but I wouldn't expect great vis based on the conditions over the past few days and all of the rain we'll be getting through today and Sat so it probably won't be worth your trouble to drive all the way out to RI this weekend.

Chris, (little) You know better than to go there after this much rain! Brail diving sucks!!

Chris, (big) you don't have a puter anymore, so you can never dive again.

Ed, You are now married and should sell me all of your gear. It IS used, so I can only give you .15 cents on the dollar. (wholesale price of course)

Hehe I was wondering if you'd catch that little loophole when I typed it.....

Yes, Sunday morning, only catch is I need to be done by about 11am. A friend of mine is graduating at URI and I told her I'd try to show up for the ceremony.

On the contrary! I am dragging Ed out to go looking for said computer (which should be reading a bottom time of about 1 week at this point if we find it )

Remember to follow the profile! I'll show up to toss little stones on you while you are decompressing in 16" of water for 36 hours!!

Chris big is just saying the vis is bad because he knows I like scavenging. I bet Bull Point will be crystal clear this weekend.
