Thanks for the plug Rick. I'm hoping to make the journey up to see the show. It looks really cool and I was honored to be able to contribute photos of the Regina and Charles S. Price. Thanks for recommending me!
Absolutely. I'll be in Port Huron from noon until three - planning on a couple of dives on the Monarch/Ben Hur. Taking my new Olympus c8080 on its first real outing.. Late notice though probably?! Got lots of classes later this week and a charter this weekend so I'll be in touch next week...

Sorry I couldn't make it. I'm off on Monday but watch my son most of the day. I'll be diving tonight once his mom gets home. Hope you had a good one.
Next week I'll be diving all week in Port Austin and Port Sanilac. The following week in Lake Erie. But soon!
