I’ve had a bad head cold and congestion for the last two weeks, so I’ve had to stay out of the water.<\/p>\n
Popping Sudafed and keeping my body hydrated with The King Of Beers hasn’t done a thing to shake this cold, except making me feel sort of strung out.<\/p>\n
To stay in the local diving loop, and bless my fellow local divers with my presence, I showed up to do shore support for our regular Sunday Services dive.<\/p>\n
Not many divers – a couple from Dive N Surf, three sort of strangers and four regular Diveveters. <\/p>\n
No females.<\/p>\n
It was a great day – very flat water with the air temperature in the mid-70s.<\/p>\n
Reverend Al, Chipper, Military Bob (back from Chicago, on vacation) and Ted made a safe, but boring, entrance off The Point.<\/p>\n
And likewise, they all made a safe, but boring exit at The Cove.<\/p>\n
Lobsters were spotted in the shallows and visibility was said to be 10-12 feet, with reports it got to as good as 20 feet in some areas.<\/p>\n
There were migrating whales in the distance.<\/p>\n
One of the divers was saying that he heard the whales speaking to one another – something that he had never heard before.<\/p>\n
It was later discovered that the “whale cries” were Ted just humming in his regulator.<\/p>\n
Debriefing followed, or in my case continued, as usual.<\/p>\n
I took the time to get used to my new camera; the video is below.<\/p>\n
