The water should be in the low 70's. It was 72 on the Keystorm a few weeks ago.
I know although I'll be wearing my drysuit, I'll not be wearing the warm undies... it'll be too dang hot for me.

I'm busier than a one-armed paper hanger trying to clear my desk, so if you need to get a hold of me, drop a "normal email", 'cuz I won't get back on until late tonight.

Ok a little more precise for you "warm water" folks. Don't count on the water being above 75. It might get there but not by much.

Anything above 70 is considered hot water here! :dance:

I hate screen names. I keep calling people by first names and really don't like doing that in open forums.

Thanks DG!

DD is right...I'll try to bring my 12 mil...unfortunately THAT is why I'm going dry! As for low 70's...yes I can do it....gosh it will be a rude awakening after diving the last 3 weeks in 85+ degree water! Thanks for the heads up! kamala

P.S we are talking at depth here right? My Canadian friends swears you all are talking about surface temps NOT at depth! -ww

Yss, with the river, I haven't noticed a thermocline this time of year- same temps top to bottom. Well, let's say "the bottom" is the recreational limit 130' so some tech diver doesn't get all cutsie and mention their wall dive to 260'. Where we'll be diving the max depth will be less than 130' unless you plan on taking a shovel with you.

Now if we were diving in Kingston, that would be another story. Thermoclines are popular there!

I'll call Sirius and Proycon that here, unless join in and "sign on".

Like DL said, that's the temp to as deep as we'll be going. We loose the thermocline real early in the season -- But even in Lake Ontario, last weekend the first one (and only one was at 70')

Hey roomie, just thought I'd tell you that all our groceries are bought, and the coffee machine is ready to go in the car.

I may try switching the small one I travel with with the 12-cupper if others have a requirement for the cafine shot in the morning. Remember though the motel does offer a (free I think) continental breakfast.

WW -- your tanks, regs are all set to go in the car.

Now can some one please take the rest of my work of my desk, or tell me it's the end of the work day? arrrrrg

I am sending an e-mail out now to the people going. It will arrive at the addresses that were mentioned to me a couple of months ago. It will have a food survey that Kamala can use for the shopping and roomie assignments.

T-shirts? Anyone want a t-shirt? I can hand carry them so they'd only be $20 vs $25. Let me know!

E-mail is sent. The roomie stuff is in there, so we shouldn't need to post roommates here.

Thanks for the help!
