Today was one of those "perfect New England summer beach days" . It was really hot. You just had to be in the water. We, meaning (Fred, Chris, Pete and Larient) were all set for a diving adventure but it wasn't the type of adventure that you would've expected on a perfect summer day.
The wind was blasting out of the west.
Chris had one heck of a time getting the boat out of the slip. The wind was pushing the boat sideways.
Everyone was on full alert to make sure the boat did not "kiss" any of the surrounding docked boats.
Lareint pointed out two cute little swallow bird youngsters perched on a neighboring boat's anchor.
We headed up north to try to find a safe place to anchor but no luck. We were all set to call it a day but Chris took the boat south out to the harbor to try to find somewhere that was safe to anchor. We anchored at the mouth of Magnolia harbor at about a 20 feet depth. It was pretty stable there out of the wind.. A couple of pissy weekend pretend fishermen nosing around in kayaks shouted over to us that they were not going to move. We never asked them to move.(!)
Whatever.
Chris, Pete and myself went in and just stayed under the boat for safety reasons.
Water temp 56F.
The viz at about 12 feet max.
We saw clusters of squid eggs, two tiny lobsters, a rock gunnel and a small sea raven that matched the lichen and algae.
My hands got really cold for some reason so my dive was cut short.
Hey, at least I could log a dive and had fun.
And your legal lunch saved the day, V. We all had something to eat after a long boat ride. Thanks again for bringing something for everyone. Hugs.
