Hey all,
Since most seem to be heading to Maine on Columbus Day, I'm starting a new thread for those of us who prefer or have a need to dive Cape Ann.
So, if you want to grab some morning diving, please respond.
Here's the info:
TIDE (Gloucester): 6:40am High, 12:29 am Low: so roughly mid to low tide diving.
WEATHER: mostly sunny, mid 50s
WIND: rather windy from NW, I believe the wind today (Sunday) has been NE
SEAS: NOAA forecast: 4-8 feet, decreasing to 3-6
TIME: negrats and I are hoping for (early) morning
SITE: TBD Here are the needs
1) negrats wants to do at least a dive of lobserting
2) protected (citing this weekend's and tomorrow's highish winds)
3) non-rocky entry, b/c tide
I know that sounds rough, it still leaves us many options. (ie. Loblolly, Pebble, Salt Island, the infamous Back/Front Beach and probably others) But then again, I'm no expert on Cape Ann Dive site selection.
On a personal note: I really want to dive cause my reg finally came in!!!!!! And, yes (shellbird) I will formally introduce myself. Soon, I promise... they are actually giving me a day off soon. Unless, I decided to dive then too.. hehe
