It looks like Chriti said, this coming Saturday and Sunday look like complete blowouts. If we can we will preposition boats on the east side for some real treats for those that can make it. True north winds mean the east side should be like glass.

With that title, Dave, I was expecting pics. And not of the weather.

Not to be insolent but I'm from New York and inherrently snarky. And perverted. Its what we do.
 
Sorry for the title but the warnings about Nortes has been more repetitive than usual this week. Having 24 years of seeing and understanding weather forecasts I just try to make users of this board aware of what to expect. Whether it is to skip friday and expect to dive Saturday could make a big difference in one's only dive vacation.

One may accuse me of just trying to build business for Aldora with eastside diving but I can assure all of you that I prefer to not to dive over there as the logistics cost us much more than the income. That is probably why no other dive shop does it.

Way back, some years ago there were 5 days of no diving at all. I actually saw people crying from losing their entire dive vacation. That broke my heart and I figured out some ways to fix it. Boats on the other side beach at first and big 4x4 trucks, then a 40 ft + boat for other conditions. Call it crass commercialism as some competitors and their friends have called it, but my absolute commitment to taking care of our customers—no matter what— was and continues to be the reason.

I'm 73 now and slowly backing out of the dive operation but will continue with all my strength to ensure that my legacy continues.

You can always come back for a few days, maybe you left something in your room, make up some excuse!
 
Thanks for the correction Gordon I fixed it. It now looks like Friday and Saturday with Sunday AM CLOSURE.

Take the troughs out of your freezer first so that they warm up.

Really? To me, it just looks like Saturday is bad.
