Ahoy Mates!
Where the heck did September go ? I began the month with a wonderful cruise up to San Miguel with my son and Dennis Dreith. We circumnavigated the island in fairly quiet seas for up that way and saw a ton of whales and other creatures of the ocean along the way. I bookended the month with the "Crash Course" ASA 105 which really went quite well, all things considered. It was a good class size and the great news for the graduates is they wont be doing it in January !

This is a great time of year for lessons as well as 104 and/or 106 trips. I have a few openings in my dance card, so take advantage of what looks like a good long range forecast for the month.

Ive got a couple of seats left on our inaugural clinic of this season, the most popular Anacapa trip. So if you want to go with us November 16th, let me know. If you have not been yet, it qualifies you to do it on your own. If you have already, well, heck, come along anyway. Its great fun !
