<\/p>\nI think I’m back online, at least for now, and should be making prompter posts; I just spent the last day turning four old broken PCs into one old working one.<\/p>\n
With a day off with no pay, compliments of the stagnant crapola economy, I decided to head down to White Point for a long overdue dive there.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The trick to parking on the weekdays is to get there before 9 AM; after that, it shoots to $7.<\/p>\n
TwinDuct and Debriefer Paul met me, along with a sort of new face – “Kevin.”<\/p>\n
After TwinDuct discovered problems with the threading on his tank, Kevin saved our SCUBA dive by loaning him a tank.<\/p>\n
Thanks Kevin!<\/p>\n

We entered off of a small rocky cul de sac – I think that’s what’s left of the old Japanese bathhouse.<\/p>\n
We submerged in 20 feet of water and headed South; there are underwater hot springs here, but I’ve never been able to find them.<\/p>\n

Kevin stayed with us almost until the end, before he went off solo to look for shells.<\/p>\n

White Point is strange in that some reefs are 40 feet deep, but if you try and swim over them, sometimes you reach the surface.<\/p>\n
We exited with no problems.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We fired up the ghetto grill and debriefed with hot dogs and the King Of Beers.<\/p>\n
With lobster season fast approaching, I’m a little concerned… where are the lobsters?<\/p>\n
