Brockville 8/17-8/19

I'll be there, diving the St. Lawrence wrecks with Abucs. Is anyone else
going to be in the area?

I'm leaving my guns at home, but will be armed with knives.

Looking forward to your trip report, Al. I'll be there over Labor Day
weekend, but not with Abucs this year. I hope they got the head fixed
on their new boat!

Have fun.

Great timing. I just drove home last night from that area. I was doing
a little fishing/camping just north of there. I just saw yer email
this morning. We were pretty much incommunicado. We had to drive 30
miles to a hill to get cell phone reception. I could have stretched
out the fishing a few more days and driven home via Brockville if I'd
known.

I too was armed with knives (and hooks). As it is the only dive gear
that got a workout was my rockboots (perfect for wading streams and
rivers) and my backup lights (for camping).

Have fun.

I was also in Brockville from Thursday to Tuesday, guess I should have
emailed you about trying to get out diving.

It should be interesting. I'm going to some of the wrecks on the
American side. The only thing I've been to on that side is the Jodery.

I don't know if the boat is new. It's one of their River Queens.

Thanks George, I'll report back.

Email sent. It's too bad, you are missing some excellent wreck diving in
warm clear water (yes, really).

> Have fun.

That's what we intend to do.
thanks

We did a bit of shore diving a few years ago at Brockville and points
east. It's surprising how warm the water is. I did my dives in a 3/2
in September and was quite comfortable.

Did you do any diving or just do the inlaw thang?

Stayed on dry land. So far I've only got out three times this year.

On the American side the Keystorm is awesome. Bow at 20 feet, stern
around 100, huge holds you can swim into. Frequently there are some
large fish hanging around, too, like pikes or muskies.

Cheers,
