This is a photo of the NOAA sub port in downtown Juneau, and this is right where our boat should be today. However all we can see is the wind whipping up the water into whirligigs instead. The good news is hopefully the boat will leave Petersberg sometime this evening and go through the night (when the wind is predicted to die down), so we might actually get back on schedule to leave on Monday. However it goes, we're all standing by, Christian gets in from Hawaii tomorrow morning, and tomorrow afternoon we'll take all our gear down to the dock to wait.
Today I did my checkout dive off the Auke Bay pier and all went well, we even saw some mating King Crabs! The visibility was wonderful (20ft +) and there was lots to see - anemones, sea stars, urchins, mussels - the seafloor was teaming with life. A good sign of what we'll see in Tracy Arm!
