notes:

.TODAY...LIGHT WINDS...BECOMING S 10 TO 20 KT BY AFTERNOON. WIND WAVES LESS THAN 1 FT EARLY...BUILDING TO 2 TO 4 FT BY AFTERNOON. NW SWELL 3 TO 7 FT AT 11 SECONDS. AREAS OF FOG IN THE MORNING. CHANCE OF RAIN DEVELOPING.

This was the "Return the fin I found this summer to Nancy" dive. And what a day! The forecast was for rain and unsettled seas, but we had sun, flat seas, and wonderful viz! 15-20 meters at Cannery and Granite Point Walls. Good deeds are rewarded.

There was pretty good surge, however, and the winds did pick up in the afternoon as forecast with some sprinkles, but these didn't dampen the great conditions.

Nancy took a couple of nice shots, one of which demonstrates the visibility.
