6AM - Just a little hotter than Saturday already, but there is a survival plan. Whenever a lull in the divers presented itself, which turned out to be twice, I slipped into the delightfully cool 80F water. There was some ribbing from the guys at Ozark SCUBA about my board shorts and current state of pale white Canadian-ness. I can live with that. At least they gave Quincy some crap too, although his choice of swimming apparel was a 6XL CLX 450.

Concerns arose near packing time, as the thought of loosing any shade on a day like this was inconceivable.

You know it must be hot when the DOG Truck air conditioning seems to make a bit of difference.
As always, the crew really came through and got us packed up in a hurry. Given that we have more crew here than at any other location, amidst the melee of the breakdown, I hope we got a chance to thank each of you personally. Huge thanks to all of you! Over this event, and through what turns out to be the hottest DOG Rally of the year, you managed to give over 110 divers an amazing drysuit experience. Needless to say, the undergarments were bagged up and sent to the cleaners right away. The DAN and DUI crew were headed back to St. Louis for their flight home, and I fired up the DOG Truck to get a few hours on the road, bound for Rawlings, VA.
