Well we're back home now, I've still got the Van of Dreams to unpack and to sort out the paperwork.
It was indeed a fun weekend despite the weather. Both Paul and I enjoyed it and we are determined to return in the future.
Saturday was spent with Hugh, preparing him ready for his initiation in a few weeks time. Hugh took to the unit no problem and he was in a different suit so all familiarity with his equipment was gone but he didn't show it.
Sunday was to be a more difficult day. The weather had made the visibility reduce inside harbour and as the day progressed it worsened outside. Great credit to the lads they all dived like seasoned CCR divers in what was a big surge.
The second dive on Sunday proved to be my nemesis, I just hadn't quite sealed the bottom of the drysuit zip and whilst wading in I felt the cold water ingress. As I hurriedly tried to get out of the water to a shallow spot where I could attend to the problem I was starting up the slip way when it lived up to it's name and I slipped and fell off the side back into the water. I didn't hear one person laughing out loud but it must have looked bloody funny to the onlookers.
Ken and Jane came along and thank you for providing surface cover on Saturday and your company on Saturday evening.
We met Geoff as well whom provided us with tip top accommodation and a briefing on the harbour.
A really great weekend spent with great people.
Thanks everyone!
