Day 1 report:

Flat, glassy conditions for the 33 divers that signed on, with up to 20m viso in some places but fish were hard to come by, but the cream as always, does rise to the top with A Carey scoring over 1000 points on the day....

Day 2 report:

Even better conditions greeted us this morning, it was a glass off!
3 more divers signed on today to take the total for the Canada Cup to 36 divers, which was half as meny as last year :( and it was as flat as a lake! with awesome viso (20m) in some places but almost zero in others............
A Carey (an Independant) won the day and the Canada Cup with another impressive haul of 1000+ points.....

BIG BIG BIG thank you from me to ALL who worked the scales today and yesterday. There was almost ZERO errors and those that there were, were minimal, TOP STUFF. It really makes a difference to my job when the scoresheets are correct, which is why the presso was done 1.5 hours after i started the scores.

Also big thank you to Joe Harper, Alby Cook and their Central Coast Sealions members for doing the BBQ on sunday. Joe, I could not get the computer system to put you into seniors so you are still an intermediate for now.......
