Thursday, 7/16 A.M. Report
ReplyDeleteWater: 66 degrees measured at beach, felt chillier around the rocks, warmer away from the rocks.
Water Conditions: Clear, flat.
Kru: Big group this morning. Something like 13 or 14 swimmers. Diable, Forger, Majic Mike, Mandella, Dragon Fly, Showgirl, Lt. MJ, and several others (sorry if I didn't list your name).
Other Notes: Pretty clouds, and nice not having to look into full bright sunshine. Photo shoot going on around Love Rock. I saw treasure chest, which is located 15 yards north of the staircase (not the Love Rock Staircase, but the one north of that staircase), and about 20 yards off shore. I dove down and touched it. What's in the chest?
Here is a link to a photo of a pix I took this morning at the beach.

It's that "spirtually beautiful" time of the year down at the beach in the mornings. Get there and get yourself some before it's gone.
"Diable" above should be "Diablo." Good to see Hiz Honor Barnes magically appearing out of the water this morning.
