Picnic the perfect Pick-Me-Up...


Under sunny skies, with excellent water conditions (if you ignore a slightly chilly edge to the temperature) the annual Treasure Hunt and Picnic went off today with a very high level of attendance. More than 20 divers participated and there were at least 30 members present altogether. Kim and Scott did a wonderful job of pulling the whole event together. Their efforts on the catering front deserve special mention. The food was delicious and the home-made cookies and other delights just made the day. It was particularly good to see youngsters present. I think that Sophie, a babe in arms, took the prize for youngest of all.

The diving was good, despite a silty layer deposited by morning rain. One group was lucky enough to spot a Long-Nosed Gar. The accompanying picture was captured by Marc-Etienne.



As always, the occasion proved to be the rallying point for some members who have been away - or whose gear doesn't suit the colder weather diving. It was great to see them back in the water.

Congrats all. I was still in Vancouver yesterday morning, or would have loved to join my clubmates. Looking forward to being back in the water soon!
