Merry and I went to the edge of Redondo Canyon a couple of nights last week for Blackwater dives. We hung our green fishing light overboard and waited for jellies, salps, and siphonophores to arrive. Instead, we were bombarded by millions of squid. We're hoping the swells will calm down soon so we can take photos on the sand to see the eggs and the animals who feast on the dead squid.
I took my newly acquired 2004 C-Dory 16 Cruiser on its maiden voyage. This is the first boat I’ve owned (besides kayaks), and it’s been 30+ years since I’ve launched or retrieved a boat. Things went pretty good and the boat is impressive.
I stuck close to my normal kayaking places, but I’m looking forward to many adventures.
