A dive today from the Winter Dock on Wolfe Island proved to be a profitable one. Dianne, Chris and I had spent some time prospecting potential shore dives before accepting the harsh reality that we were going to dive a familiar one. But all was not lost. During a gentle and enjoyable dive, we discovered three different anchors fouled in the various pipes and cables that lead away from the Dock. (Not a bad haul in a 'No Anchor' area..!).
A short surface break to retrieve a lift bag enabled me to recover the 20lb Danforth Anchor (the other two were Mushroom, Sand Anchors - their turn will come in due course).
Conditions in the water continue to improve. The temperature today was 45F (7C). Air temperature a little too chilly at 11C (52F), but the Sun was shining brightly. The ferry trip each way was a joy, if you stayed out of the wind. Visibility in the water, about 40 feet.
