Lowering the Moorings

Well we dropped the moorings in Kingston yesterday, A couple of weeks ago when the day was finally decided a suggestion was made to allow the people that booked charters that day to give them a gift. The OFWF (Ontario Fresh Water Freaks), GLUE (Great Lakes Underwater Explorers) and the new manager of KDS Kanata Diving Supply showed up and were informed that the day was on POW (Preserve Our Wrecks ) and NTD (Northern Tech Diver). They all took it well and decided that free diving more that likely better than no diving. The crews were split into two and briefed by Jim Brandeau (Dive Dude) POW’s interim mooring director on what to look for on the lines and which ones were still moored. The equipment was loaded into the Seaducer along with members of GLUE and KDS and they proceeded to dropped the mooring on 6 as well as run the line between 6 and X completing the traverse,(this task will be completed on May 15th / 16th during the raise the moorings weekend). As well as dropping the moorings on the Davie, Marsh and Graveyard, then taking a break by joining the other boat for converstation. The Ashley-Dawn was loaded with the OFWF and the Munson and Wolfe Islander II were on tap for the day, completing the task at hand and learning a new skill was up to bat for Warren and Christine on the Munson. After the first dive and some general discussion mixed with some calm weather on the lake, it was then decided to make the run to the City of Sheyboyagan. After that we took a break and allowed the Seaducer to practice his boat recovery skills. On behalf of the President of POW a big thanks to; OFWF (Chris Red, Warren and Cliff) and members of GLUE, and Finally to Rick, Barb and Mack for building/delivering/designing the new mooring.
