Oh, Puget Sound and the San Juans! How I love you.....

So I missed out (has to work) on what I heard was way too fun of a bench dive at Rat Race Karting in Burlington last week. Apparently there are some crazy drivers amongst us... And Kyle, you are forgiven for not knowing there was going to be a surprise party for you. (It's a terrible problem to have so many friends!)
We live in one of the most beautiful, amazing, diverse places! Last weekend in Friday Harbor on Banditos Charters we had some excellent dives, and a wonderful time topside... Nice weather, good vis, tons of life! I saw: a Pacific King Crab 12" across, schooling Pacific and Copper Rockfish, Lingcod, Sculpin, shrimp, a huge clown dorid, a massive Monterrey Sea Lemon, Alabaster nudibranch, a basket star, big barnacles, kelp/rock/decorator crab, pretty anemones and cloud sponges, lovely sunflower stars and bright blood stars, bald eagle, golden eagle, heron, cormorants and kingfishers, Dahl's porpoise, deer, harbor seal, piling worm, and otter....not to mention a bunch of friends having fun! Thanks everyone! We're going out on the boat again on Saturday, March 27th. Wooo hoooo! Do come along if you are so inclined....
This weekend we have some awesome shore diving planned - Saturday the 6th we are heading to Keystone and on Sunday the 7th we're off to Edmonds. Both days we will be meeting at the shop at 7:30 am. I hear it's supposed to be 60 degrees and sunny! If you need gear or more info please contact/come in to the shop. As always, all are welcome and shore support is appreciated. Tell your friends!
