i was laying in my bunk hearing "ka-thunk ka-thunk, ka-thunk, and then all of a sudden the ka-thunking stopped and i says to myself: hey, we should still be a ka-thunking if we are heading to Santa Barbara as the lee of that island is too small and the boat wasn't exactly doing 40 knots! Hmm, what do ya wanna bet that we are at Catalina? Then the Capn' sez over the intercom "wake up if you want to dive" as i glance at my august old chronometer and see that it is not even 1:00 AM. I stagger up on deck and lo and behold, the Palos Verdes Peninsula glimmers off to the North, and the Eureka, Edith and Emily platforms just barely wink over the horizon off to the east. I had only one comment: AWWWW SHIT ;)
