Well, last weekend I went for my first dive back in Lake Champlain in atleast 3 years, maybe more. I had forgotten how much I didn't enjoy full 7mm wetsuits, plus gloves, hood, and booties. I was spoiled in the Keys and Australia with not wetsuit or a 3/2 mm suit. It wasn't too cold, and it was a beautiful day. I went with John, a Divemaster Candidate, for his mapping project. We entered just south of the Essex, NY to Charlotte, VT ferry at Begg's Point Park. There wasn't much to see besides a few dozen golf balls and several tires. I did find a pair of sunglasses and half a cell phone. Those came out with me. We made two dives, about an hour each. John's map turned out great. He even made a little Powerpoint presentation about it and the surrounding area, including pictures.
We've been very busy at Pleasure Divers, and I've been working hard. Today we were so busy that I didn't get to eat lunch. It's good for the shop to be getting the business, but I'd also like a few minutes to sit and eat.
I've been running the compressor for almost 2 hours every day this week. I'm to the point were I'm not scared to use it. The next task will be blending Enriched Air. That could take a while!
In the past few weeks we've managed to strip the wallpaper in the downstairs bathroom, paint it yellow, sand, stain, and polyurethane the vanity cabinet, and install the new GFCI outlet, new light fixture, towel bars, and pictures. It turned out great. We also pressure washed the deck and paint/stained it with 2 coats of gray. This place is really shaping up!
