Lucky Seven...

This evening's charter went directly to the wreck of the Cornwall. This is a point worth making, because so often we get blown off the intended target and diverted to the Wolfe Islander. Conditions were near perfect for the seven divers along for the ride, with just a gentle wind, practically no waves and good visibility. Most of the party had not visited the wreck before and this always makes for a good experience. The wheels on the wreck were starkly evident close to the descent line. They and the massive boilers are really signature equipments for the site. Another really neat feature to spot is the the line of small portholes that can be seen on the Port side forward. There wasn't a lot of variety in the marine life on show. Shoals of Gobies were flitting around whenever divers approached, but just a handful of fairly small Bass were also present. The knack this evening was to find the thermocline (at about 58 feet) and hover just above the top of the boilers in the 'warm' while enjoying a view of the wreck from above. For the record, the bottom temperature was 52℉ (11℃) and the visibility about 50 feet.
