There's no snow on the ground. It looks downright balmy compared to Juneau. Today we had 34 degree air and 35 degree water.

It's not uncommon to see 22 feet tide swings.

I went diving with Poog once at the site we were at yesterday during high tide of a 23-24 foot exchange. Current was RIPPING on the surface. Had to crawl along the rocks!

I found two large Prowfish in a hole below the last east rock outcropping at a depth of about 125'. Had a hard time getting pictures as they were back in the hole. I did get one that is somewhat cloudy the others didn't come out very good. Will go back next weekend to try and find them again.

Rick-I would really like to get some pics of those guys, Brian probably would too! We should set up a dive to go get some pics of those critters. (I added some pics from my original post from today too, lotsa wolf eels)
