Changing the subject......... Went out on the Great Escape tuesday to the back side of Catalina. First we hit Farnsworth Bank. I had never been there before, what a beautiful dive!! The only place in the world( i think) that has this great looking purple hard coral. Imaging that hard coral in our own backyard!! Did two more dives in the kelp along the west end of Catalina. Good vis, but I thought the water was feeling colder than the 63 F. my computer was showing. Makes one happy we live so close to such an awesome place to dive. Anyway the crew of the Great escape did an excellent job. Thanks!!
