A century not out is typically a cricketing expression, but in this case it refers to the fact that Jeffy made his hundredth dive today. He enjoyed the unique occasion on the KPH wreck, where visibility and conditions - a small thermocline notwithstanding (at about 45 feet) - were excellent. Temperatures above the thermocline were in the 60s, below it about 50℉ (10℃) . The post dive celebration continued at the Portsmouth Tavern, where all good groups go to relax. Jeffy is pictured close to the bow, approaching the forward hatch and just inside the large bitts that lie on either side of the forward quarters of the wreck. This little-visited gem also boasts a massive rudder, three-bladed prop and a pair of enormous boilers. A bilge pump and other fittings also remain to attract the attention of divers. Congratulations Jeffy - start in on the next hundred soon...!

Thanks for the trip out [and the post], Mike. I'll start in the next hundred Sunday morning, conditions notwithstanding, with the club shore dive to the KGH!
Congratulations Jeffy.
