Windy on the Wolfe...



After a fun morning working on an Open Water certification, the opportunity was presented this afternoon to take a trip to the Wolfe Islander II. Conditions were good on the outward trip - and on the wreck during our 51 minute dive - but when my buddy and I returned to the surface the wind had got up and a light swell was making the stern mooring interesting.

The pic is one of a number taken on the wreck today. Visibility was probably as much as 40 feet, with the water showing a minimum temperature of 46F (8C). Other pictures will be up on the Flickr site tonight. There was absolutely no current on the ship - and the whole experience was enjoyable...

Both mooring lines are now in place - thanks to 'Preserve Our Wrecks, Kingston' - the stern line has the official POW buoy and the bow a blue jug.
