Sorry I didn't run into you Wolfie. We were diving out of the DNR marina Thu-Sun. Pretty much had the place to ourselves!

StanS · Jun 26, 2012

Andy was on my boat the Narcosis and we ran out of the state dock Sat. and Sun.

I didn't know that was him or I would have said hello! I was on Jitka's boat. Darn it!

Sorry I missed you, you guys departed before I arrived on sat and you cleared the docks before we returned. I had dinner with Jitka on sat along with Andy from your group. Looked around for you Sunday a little but after the other dive boat came in there were just a lot of people (including me) trying to get out before the next front moved in. Posted about the trip in the DNY forum.
how'd you like the Minneapolis? Jitka said there were some strange currents around it?

Divin'Papaw · Jun 26, 2012

I had a great time diving with Andy. He and I buddied up for multiple dives over the 4 days. The Minneapolis was a blast. Much more like a river dive than a lake dive. Not a ripping current, but a decent current that seemed to change directions every 10 feet. It was also odd in that the wreck supposedly starts at 60'. I'm not sure where! The part of the wreck that's buoyed started around 85-90 feet. It was a blast of a dive with a great close-up view of the bridge. It was also Andy's 200th dive, so that was fun!

Your right about the 60. It's kinda strange doing a 110 foot wreck as your shallow dive after doing the ward. I've got the same profile in my log book as well.
