I pulled up in the mighty truck to our current parking spot at Terranea; the divers really missed seeing the Duster and I was told, “Not bringing the Duster is just wrong.”

I was hoping for a hot chick named Wrinkles to show up and dive, but she was a no show; I went with Instructor Ron.

We made an uneventful entry off of The Point.

We descended in an attempt to find the statue; but hit bottom on a sand bar, which sort of disoriented me as there were no familiar reefs to aid in navigation.

We never found the statue.

A nudibrach next to an egg ribbon.

Instructor Ron is right behind.

Two divers follow.

A sunstar hides behind some kelp.

Vis was 10 to 20 feet, depending on where we went.

I don’t know what these are… they look like a collection of sunflower seeds.

I don’t know what these are either, but they look like small yellow maggots, but they weren’t moving.

We exited The Cove without hassle.

Debriefing continues ahead of the Terranea Resort opening; apparently the public opening has been pushed back a few days.

I think next week I’ll bring my barbecue to test our debriefing limits.
