After all of my losing battles with the ladder on the boat, we finally got a new one--- much more conducive to diving!  I've been battered, beaten, and driven to utter exasperation with the previous ladder, so I do NOT miss it  

Anyway, today was the first time using the new one... took the boat over to the Yukon for a couple of dives (which ended up only being 1 dive since the conditions were terrible)..  Nothing particularly exciting to see, but I did get a visit from a massive school of Blacksmith, who seemed to have a seal after them in hopes of getting a meal out of some of them...  Also this was my first solo dive on the Yukon~ which didn't thrill me since I couldn't see much of anything in that nasty pea soup water...

Me & the new ladder... awwwww                (Yah, I know.. mask strap isn't under hood, I had my C4 instead of my can lite, and my MP3 player wire was in my mouth *giggle*    But thank you for pointing those things out)
