Rogers new tool

it has to be noted that Rogers new wand of shame (from Paul's design) found and anchor and took roger an awful long time to move around. Apparently, swiping takes a bit more effort than swimming in the muck. Roger did Muck a cloud for Pete to travel through and it was not very pleasant.

Otter said it really wasn't that bad.

Very clear, where are those rusty crayfish?

Watching the boys was a bit distracting, or though Otter thought.

A prize anchor, debating if he really needed that lift bag...John's 26lb one would have

New find for Pete and so the trip was well worth it. Too bad he pulled a John on one bottle...find out next dive meeting. Wow those bottles have a lot of mud in them...

Roger was thrilled for sure, Marks got some new glasses
