Crowded House..



I guess it's one of those things that happens when almost all the water we love is covered in ice. Divers congregate on any accessible stretch. Today, Dianne and I were gearing up at Upper Brewer's when Steve and Wayne drove up to join us. They were able to give us more info on the site and some useful orientation tips. The water was pretty clear, with viz at about 20-25 feet. Temperatures remain at about 33F (1C), but the good news today was that the air temperature was 2C (36F). It felt almost balmy...

We watched several crayfish scuttling around in the bowl below the bridge and a couple of unidentified probable larvae. The highlight sighting was the remains of an old flintlock rifle, which Steve showed us underwater.
