Blue skies and mid-70s Friday-Sunday enticed me into the deep end of the pool after a long, cold and wet winter. But, no camera and no scuba gear. I was just cleaning some debris from the main drain.

The pool was trashed by a November nor'easter (cover, cover rails, copings, tile and plaster) and it's being refurbished. Another week and it will be restored to pristine condition and ready for more wet and underwater art.

An 18% gray plaster matching the tiles gets applied this week (covering the white). As soon as the plaster is applied, it is immediately filled with water.
