Liquid Archaeology

Recently I decided to tackle an issue with my kit that had been bugging me. When trying to maintain a stationary position I would go head down unless I was constantly fining and struggling. With the help of my team I was able to solve this puzzling mystery and move a lot closer to ideal trim. The following is an account of the steps I went through.

Southern Trail Mooring Buoy

It was a cold and blustery sunday morning, so John Millar and Chris Phinney decided to visit an old friend and take down a project buoy for the season. The trip to the Southern Trail was quick at first with Chris at the helm, the inflatable skimmed over the chop easily. Once out of the Leslie Street Spitt’s lea, the trip slowed down as one meter swells rolled in. Piloting a zig zag course to compensate, the trip was completed without too many spine shattering bumps, taking only a few minutes longer than usual.

Great video by Worthington Cylinders on how their deep draw steel tanks are made.

Here is a great educational video that I found on how aluminum tanks are made.

Chris Moore, John Millar and I dove the “SA Queen” yesterday afternoon. Weather was hot but the winds were light. The lake was not too choppy at all. First time on this site for all three of us.
