Gills Rock Wisconsin Mini gathering

Wed Sep 15, 2010 1:01 pm

Seahunt Jerry, his friend Ken and myself met up in Gills Rock to dive the Fleetwing yesterday. I gave my Snark III Silver and newly aquired Jet Air a work out. Warm(for Wisconsin) water and decent viz made for a good time checking out the remnants of this wreck.
Ken and Jerry zipped around using their scooters. I was self propelled using my old Super Rocket fins. Good thing I'm so stream lined. LOL

First dives? 1967 and I never lost the fever.

I can't believe it, barefoot on the shores of Lake Michigan in September!
Here are a couple of pics we took in August of 09, visiting Jim....
It was very breezy near the lake that week. Check out our cozy hoodies (available at http://www.thescubamuseum.com :D
