Tim and I went to Catalina for Labor Day Weekend. We left work on Friday and drove to Dana Point, where we caught the Catalina Express and made it to the island by 6:30. We stayed at the Pavilion Lodge, the same hotel we stayed at 4 years ago during our last dive trip to Catalina.
The weather was perfect, and we took our first dive on Saturday morning. The surface water temperature was about 70 degrees, and our bottom depth was only about 45 feet. The thermocline (at least, to 45 feet) was probably only a couple degrees. We stayed down for about 45 minutes, and the dive was awesome. The visibility was probably 60 feet or so, with only a small current.
We dove again on Sunday, and at first decided to go down to 70-80 feet to see some of the wrecks at the edge of the dive park. However, as we descended, at about 50 feet the water got much colder, and the visibility was significantly worse. We decided to head back up to 30-40 feet and cruise around in the warmer water. In addition to diving, we snorkeled, shopped, went out to a few nice lunches and dinners, and laid out in the sun. The weekend was absolutely perfect...
On Monday, we played 18 holes of miniature golf. I beat Tim by 18 strokes, and since miniature golf is practically the exact same thing as regular golf, it is now clear I am the better golfer. Understandably, this is a difficult fact for Tim to swallow, so please give him processing time to come to terms...
every star in the night
promises the dawn
i will be there if you fall
to ever so heavily rest upon
all that i can give you
is forever yours to keep
wake up every day with a dream
and happy everafter in your eyes
