Fowey to Midway

Went out today, 8-30-09. Out of Dinner Key Marina in Miami. On the boat is the Van, Rod from N.J. and his brother and Larry and of course me. We headed out thru Stiltville and rounded the corner around Fowey Lighthouse and headed South. We hit some patch reefs. Slight current to the north maybe 1/2 knot. Fish was scarce, viz was 40 ft. Not clear but good enough. Water temp was hot 84 degress f. After spending most the day in fairly shallow water (less then 40 ft), I decided to head for some cooler deeper water I swam out to 50-60 ft range. After some refreshing deeper drops I spot a mutton he swam straight into the shaft, gosh I hate that! The shaft stuck in a big sponge so I had to surface without the fish and shaft. Larry came along to assist but he had clearing problems so I returned to retrieve my shaft. When I surfaced Larry had shot a nice Ocean Tally. Well we cut the day short at 1 pm and started to head in. Not much fish but a good day anyways. Oh I forgot my fins good thing Larry brought a spare set.

Scrub At Key West

Went down to Key West last weekend. Met some nice people including Lee, Deb(?) and another young diver I can't seem to remember. Anyways the whole weekend got scrubbed because of super shitty weather. I did have a chance to give lessons and Lee brought some lobsters by before I left to come home. It was nice to meet some faces. Anyways no one can control the weather so maybe next trip. There is a tourney in Key West in September .....maybe...
