We also have write-ups, photos, and a video of this past August’s six gill shark week in Barkley Sound, and the 2012 Underwater Photo “Walk”.

On a final note, you can help Wendy and Bruce Carey by voting for their ling cod eye shot as People's Favorite in the 2012 World Wide Photo Walk Contest. Follow this link to their photo: http://worldwidephot...-choice/page/5/, and drop down to Edmonds. It is fun to note that the Edmonds outing was the only underwater photo outing in this world wide event.

Have a wonderful holiday season!
