July 12, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was offered a deal that I could not refuse – the last spot on a six-pack diving boat on a trip to the Yukon and Ruby E wrecks.<\/p>\n

Financing and a ride to San Diego was arranged thanks to Mean Bob of Divevets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bob was due to pick me up at 6 AM; I got news that a very close relative has been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) at 5:30 AM.<\/p>\n

There was nothing I could do about it, and if I cancelled at the last minute, all it would do was free me up for an early drinking binge.<\/p>\n

Bob picked me up four minutes early and we made the hour and a half drive to San Diego with no issues.<\/p>\n

Donna the Hot Biker Chick was surprised to see me – we had kept me going a secret as we were afraid she would have cancelled.<\/p>\n

The Pacific Swann<\/em> is a fairly small, but comfortable six-pack diving boat operated by a cool guy named Jeff. <\/p>\n

\"Rough
\nRough seas and big swells made the trip to the wreck pretty macho – the non-macho became seasick. <\/em><\/p>\n

\"Another
\nAnother boat was already on one of the markers.<\/em><\/p>\n

I was the first one off, Donna the second; we were getting sort of impatient waiting on the others, so we decided to head down first.<\/p>\n

\"Diving
\nA Marine died on this wreck a few months ago – an American and Marine flag had been placed there in memory.<\/em><\/p>\n

Amazingly, we found the mooring line that we went down on, and made a slow return to the surface.<\/p>\n


\nComing soon! Our next dive on the Ruby E.
