We consider it a non weenie dive when we stop seeign usdct stroke member
markers, which is around the A/O junction - pretty ballsy for those boys
since I put that line in on an O/C tripple and was at Lucy Ho's for
dinner, and it took those guys months to follow it . The stroke
collection was Heinerth, Kakook, Matten ( not to be confuse with Mike
Madden) and some other mutants who do not have names. 

Beyond the Line of Stroke is what we now call the First Drop, which is
the buoy "A 45" placed by the two Brits that Stone paid to dive, their
best effort in NINE MONTH of trying. Ted Cole, Jess Armentrout, John
Rose, and The Cruise Missle ( Chris Werner ) have all done that dive as
a setup dive for me and JJ.
