We took off north out of the Marina, on the Navy Base in Oak Harbor and took off towards Camano Island. Craig and his son, Jeff splashed first. Having some problems with Craigs's mask and also some poor visibility, their dive didn't last very long and we wound up pulling up anchor and headed for Hat Island in Possession Sound.
Half way there, the low oil alarm on Julie's Trophy screamed, so we cut the engines and 'MacGuyver'ed' the reserve oil to the outboard. We disconnected the lines to the alarm and moved to the Langley Marina, where Julie and I hoofed it up to the Star Store and bought all the 2-stroke oil they had in the place.
Back on the boat, back on towards our destination, we made it to Hat Island. We observed some Sea Lions basking on the exposed rocks, due to the extreme low tide.
Craig and I had both brought our spear guns, as it was the last day for Ling Cod spearfishing, but for some reason, we splashed without them. Of course, upon descent, there were Ling Cod everywhere. Oh well. Next year.
Decent Visibility.
Great day - we went back to Julie's place, rinsed off gear, ordered a pizza - and sat in the Hot tub while we drank Brandy Sours.
