8 Sep 2019_Yankee Clipper Jacks

I was up early to walk Mia and set up my camera, but I could not get the strobe to work, so I left it behind. We left at 6:40 am, when Martha noticed a $12 person hanging around across the street, so we doubled back to see what he was up to. Just waiting for a ride, maybe. We got to the beach at 7:00 am and geared up. I carried Martha's tank to the beach and she put it on in or next to the water. I walked back and got my gear on. We swam out to the Jacks and descended at 7:54 am. 

Headed East and found several Jacks, then spotted the Western End of the Jacks. My alternate air source was leaking air the whole time. Lost 200 psi just on the 30 minute swim out. Spotted a small turtle early in the dive. It was just waking up and raced away once it saw me

. Martha saw an Eagle Ray. Otherwise it was a pretty uneventful dive. I did spot a couple of fish I did not know. Unfortunately, I still do not know what they are. 

We got back in 123 minutes; SAC was 14.16 psi/minute and the RMV was 0.37 ft3/minute.
