Comments: canceled. Fully loaded, gear set up, wetsuits on, let's wait 15 more minutes to see what this storm's gonna do. Well it's gonna kick our butts so the dive is canceled. It was in and out beautiful all morning, big patches of blue sky to tease us.

Well since we were already all kitted up, Gus and I decided to try Foster Park again. We were gonna go from the East boat launch, along the seawall to the bridge. Not much to see here, but it was something. We got to the front of the Naval Station and headed out to a couple of the pylons in 'deep' water. Found a flounder doing its best not to be noticed and a sea robin (Gurnard) trying the same. Found a couple of nice Arrowhead crabs hiding in the pylons.

We eased in to where there was a bunch of large concrete slabs. There were a couple of fellows there snorkeling for tropicals. It was amazing... there were StopLight Parrot Fish and harlequin basslets and a few other tropicals vying for space down these slabs. Truly amazing.... We could feel the rain pelting our backs and the storm that had kept us from going out showed up. We never did make it around the corner into the current, so... maybe next time!

WHAT WE LEARNED: Now I know why you carry a knife with you. Scads of fishing line down here.
