Wetsuit wonders of Brewer's...



Chris is pictured just before another outing at Brewer's Mills today. Astonishing as it may seem, this is his third dive at the site within the last week - in a wetsuit. His commitment is extraordinary...

Today's dive was undistinguished. Cloudy conditions did little to improve visibility that was generally limited to about 15 feet. We made our way downstream to the dock below the lock and had a look around there before returning up the East bank. Navigation in this small, but unremarkable, stretch of water can be testing, but I think that familiarity with the landmarks that do exist is slowly building.

For the record: Air temperature -1C (30F) with a cool North wind. Water temperature remains stuck at about 36F (2C) and the ice shield below the lock is still in place.
