Gear Question:  What kind of suit are you diving in?  What is the minimum that you think you can get away for diving/swimming up there?

Was that Hood Canal? Where were you? Good going!
Yep, Hood Canal

I guess it depends on your tolerance to cold.  I dove both with a 7mm 2 piece, and a 3mm open cell.  I was not cold with either, but YMMV.

I grew up fishing Puget Sound. Your pics took me right back. Thanks. Your story was delightful.

If only my family...my job...my home...weren't all down here. 

Seriously though, every time I go up there I offer to buy their place.  Now an NCKA timeshare up there......that would be sweet!

I try to make the most out of the little free time I have!  :smt003  Honestly, looking at the reports half these guys look like they fish for a living (or just living to fish?)

I have a Contour Roam HD, and wear it on a headband.  Seems to do the trick.
