Our First Alaska Expedition and Dive Trip of 2008

Location: Steveston Harbour, Vancouver, British Columbia

Comments: Phew, today was a quick turnaround. Disembarked the guests from our Vancouver Island scuba diving circumnavigation trip  (with great sadness I might add as it was a GREAT trip and a GREAT group of people), turned the boat around, installed a new outboard engine on dive skiff Inde, finished up our Transport Canada survey, changed some radios out, fixed a bunch of last minute post-refit snags and were only 15 minutes late boarding our 1600 (4 p.m.) Alaska guests!! Post-refit is the only time that we have ever been late in boarding and folks didnโ€™t seem at all phased by having to wait for 15 minutes. Special thanks to my 8 year old daughter Emily for her help with the logistics of boarding our guests. We are enroute now for 2 days of scuba diving at Port Hardy (Queen Charlotte Strait, Browning Pass and Dillon Rock in Shushartie Bay), 1 day diving the wreck of the Transpac at Butedale and then itโ€™s off to Alaska!
