Well, today's Easter Saturday dive was a really good one. The greatest achievement was making it back into the waters of the Lake again after many weeks thwarted by ice. Dianne, Steve and I entered the basin of the Alexander Henry just after 11 AM today to find startlingly good visibility, but very low temperatures - 34F (1C). We found absolutely everything in place, just as it had been left in January. Same old beercans, truck tires and bottles....
We made a leisurely progress out to the barge, which has been undisturbed by Winter. Only a couple of large Bass were seen - hugging the bottom, a Perch and a single Goby - first of the year. Visibility was in excess of 40 feet and the air temperature was -2C (28F) with blowing snowflakes driven by a chilly westerly wind.
