Saturday 9AM June 13th Walt & Leah were joined by Alice Green and myself at the Tim Horton's at Niagara and Ontario, we sat around waiting for more divers to join us and ended up just talking diving. We met a man who parked his vehicle in front with South Carolina Plates who looked to me to be an imposing figure, I was reluctant to approach him with a specific question regarding his home state of South Carolina. Leah was happy to go over to him and ask him to join us for a short chat, well he turned out to be one of the nicest people you would want to meet, in 15 minutes we learned so much from him regarding his home state and diving around some of the river inlets near his home. I learned an important lesson about myself that Saturday also, not to be so quick to judge, I will try to keep this lesson in the forefront of my mind with regards to the future. I think to some extent we all judge prematurely, I guess that is just our flawed human nature. Anyway as we walked out of Tim's we met up with Bill Owens, he followed us down to Hertel with his boat and watched us get in the water, thankfully he followed our float as we did need some assistance in the river, nothing major---don't be so quick to judge! But he was a huge help nonetheless. There was a speedboat race in progress and I am afraid what the outcome would have been as the boats were really cruising at a high speed. I doubt that any of these boats would have seen our float and flag in time to adjust their direction. Bill is a valuable respected member of the club and has been for years, he is still doing the Wednesday and Saturday dives from his boat out of Rich Marina, just call me or email me to let me know if you intend on joining him for a dive, we will need to know at least 24 hours in advance, his limit for divers is usually 3. Count on a $20 bill to help out with gas. See you at the next meeting Tuesday and then the regular Wednesday and Saturday dives. Gary |

With Summer right around the corner the BAC has a schedule of fun events for everyone, our weekly Wednesday and Saturday dives often are accompanied by a picnic, non divers enjoy the friendly atmosphere and break out summer games and enjoy the food and beverages while the divers are in the water. New members are encouraged to join us to see for themselves, I like to think of our group as a social club with a diving affliction. Come along and check it out, we won't bite. JULY 5th: Barcelona Dive and picnic One of the nice summer events is planned for July 5th this year, picnic and dive at the "old Barcelona harbor" bring a dish to pass and a main course for yourself, dive gear or hit the beach or both. We meet up at about 10 AM at the "park" if you need directions contact:

JULY 19th: Waldfest Don't forget the German festival Waldfest coming Sunday July 19th Gates open at 11, we are taking reservations now, advance entry tickets are $6.00 ($10.00 day of event) this allows you to get in and watch everyone drink beer; and enjoy the music provided from 2-9 PM by the Frankfurters and the Auslanders. The real deal is sit at a table under the tent, party, walk around the beautiful grounds, dance, play drinking games at everyone's tables and drink all the beer you want for $20. Good German Food is available for purchase, please do not bring food with you, the association will not allow entry. To sign up for this event just email us the $20 fee helps to defer the cost of the tap rental and keg deposit, this year we will be looking for at least 2 tables (20 people) last year we had 22.
