The World through our Lenses

So the sun was shining and the gang decided to head to the Rothesay for a fun dive, when we got there we got greeted with the news that a body was being pulled from the waters in Rockport. Upon further checking it was not a diver.

The dive was not to bad for sighting fish, Pickerel, bass and carp were abundent and lots of green snot as well. 30 mins and a wet hand ended the dive and back to shore we went.

Adam and I met up mid day and went out for a divers hour to take some shots, the interesting thing about the day was meeting up with Ken a moon watcher at Lake Ontario park 5 hours later.

Ken had his telescope out and was looking above the sunset, so I had to ask him. He explained about the new moon which in Canada is only viewable 2 times a year. Basically a very small razor edge of the moon is viewable sort of like the eclipse leaving.

As a bonus he showed me an airbus in the sky as well as Jupiter.

Today seven of us planned to go diving after all the bailing was done 4 of us headed out to concur the might Gaskin Traverse. The water was cold and at first with initial reports of 100 feet of vis reported we figured a treat was to be had. After reaching the dive ontario warning sign we soon got into alga snot for lack of a better term. Big honking loads of it then the current hit.

We made it to the wreck and again surprise hit me as it’s been 2 years since my last dive on her and it was so disheartening to see the state of dismay she lay in. Anyone that is planning a trip off a boat in the river should ask for a different designation as the gaskin now needs to R.I.P.

More pics of the dive here.

In Kingston anyway, for the last week it’s been well over zero with today hitting 12 around one. It’s been busy all week and unfortunately a friend of mine lost his father as well. They went with a reception which I attended with little problems till it got noisy but I made it through for 1 1/2 hours.

Today Adam, Sean and I went out on a photo hunt after the daily workout and We found this little gem above and here is a description.

RM vehicles were produced from 1945, after World War II, through the 1952 merger of the Riley’s Nuffield Organisation with Austin to form BMC. They were originally made in Coventry but in 1949 production moved to the MG works at Abingdon.
There were three types of RM vehicles produced: The RMA was a large saloon, and was replaced by the RME. The RMB was an even larger car, and was replaced by the RMF. The RMC and RMD were limited-production roadsters.
All of the RM vehicles featured the pre-war Riley designed 1.5 L (1496 cc) 12 hp (RAC Rating) or 16 hp (RAC Rating) 2.5 L “Big Four” straight-4 engines with twin camshafts mounted high at the sides of the cylinder block and hemispherical combustion chambers.War II, through the 1952 merger of the Riley’s Nuffield Organisation with Austin to form BMC.
