Will o' the weather

Hi, my name is Annelie the Durban Diver and its been AGES since my last dive.....

The last 5 attempts at diving have been cancelled, 4 because of poor weather, mostly the wind making the seas too rough.  The first boat or two get out but the later dives are mostly cancelled and due to work commitments (she works?) I have not been able to make the early dives.

We had seemingly perfect conditions a week ago for an early VERY deep 40m dive to Yarringdale which I was very excited about but lo and behold, sods law stepped in and one boat engine refused to start.  Its too risky to go out with one engine, near a shipping lane, and on a deep dive, just asking for an emergency to crop up!

Super skipper Steve tried his level best but to no avail.  I thought it was awesome though to watch him jump overboard and swim to shore and back to get parts as he didnt want to beach the boat.....

Ah well, the cyclone that was due to hit southern Mozambique did hit and we have had a couple of days of heavy rain, VERY heavy seas and wind.

I am booked to go out again on Wednesday but the likihood of rubbish visability is high, even if it does launch.

boo hoo
