Wanna Dive Kona
Halloween has come and gone. Between eating like a pig for a football game, then going to a Halloween party by one of Pat's co-workers, I somehow managed to put on about 5 pounds of bloat. Too many carbs in one day...

Aren't those the new Pinnacle undergarments for PNW?

Wanna Dive Kona I just cleaned up another squid photo. They're so cool!

I've been really busy this month. We had a slow September so October has been a pleasant surprise. Today we had the day off, so it was football day... we had some Corvallis, Oregon area friends visiting so we all sat down and watched the USC Trojans vs. the Oregon State Beavers football game...

I just realized my blog is 4 years old now. Initially I figured on about a post a week, well 4 years and nearly 600 posts I'm a little above the number of posts I expected to be making... that's a lot of fish pictures. The weather on the Big Island, at least Kona side, is gorgeous right now...

Wanna Dive Kona A bunch of squid showed up on a night dive. This is one of my favorite shots I took. They flash really neat colors, one moment they're one color, the next they're another color.

I'm semi-in at the office, have the shirts hanging and a few masks available if needed. We're pretty much only using it to do paperwork and intro dive courses at this point, but it's coming along...

One of these days I'm going to have to get downtown for all of the Ironman festivities. Before my wife Pat and I moved here we came out for a vacation and it happened to be Ironman week. It's fun... lots of good energy...

Steve those squid are amazing! I think it makes it more ominous that they aren't all in focus!

After about 5 months of working nearly every day, we're back to having days off again. It seems like I'm hardly working at all, but we're still having around 20 charters a month right now...

Mid fifties!!! I think we've hit that once or twice at the house since I moved here.

Wanna Dive Kona I'm spending time in the office when I'm not out on charter. Today's highlight.... putting a new door knob on the closet - somehow it doesn't seem nearly as exciting to report as anything that happens on the charters.

Door knobs need their share of attention, too. They can be kind of temperamental, you know.

Wanna Dive Kona We have resident dolphins that will come right up to the bow of the boat when we're going out on charter from time to time.

Thanks everyone. Tamara, by the time we started today's charter the warning/alert was up. Schedule-wise nobody was locked in so we just bumped it back a day rather than risk being called in half way through the charter.

just finished. We had a pretty good sized swell come through the last few days. We happened to not have charters scheduled during the worst two days of it, it's been settling down now that were going out again and diving has been fine...

Are big swells common in the winter & if so how long do they generally last? We will be there mid to late December.

January and February seem to be our worst months, and even then sometimes we can dive every day. The big swells usually peak for 2-3 days. I haven't had to cancel more than a couple days total in December the last few years, but we can occasionally have some larger swell days... overall expect it to be flat like normal.

This morning I went down to the shop to wait for the phone technician again... 20 minutes later THREE phone company trucks were there. Blog reader Aaron had forwarded a copy of my last blog post to a few higher-ups at the phone company, so that probably helped.....
Wanna Dive Kona
It was an interesting/frustrating day.So I'm down at the office at 8am and left for only a few minutes to put the boat in for the charter. I'd made arrangements with the phone company to have the technician call a few minutes prior to arrival. I received no call so I'm thinking things are OK...
Wanna Dive Kona

Wanna Dive Kona I'm sitting at the office waiting on the telephone tech guy... I've got 20 phone outlets, 2 severed cables, a lot of wire, and no dial tone. Hopefully he/she makes it today and we'll get a working phone line in here.

Here's a goby I've been wanting to get a good picture of for a long time, this one's about as close as I've managed to get, I may have another more head-on pic I've got to photoshop that may come out OK. I'm thinking this is a Twospot Sandgoby (Coryphopterus duospilus)...

Thanks for all your updates. They are superbly informative and entertaining at the same time. You should write a book.
