Don't worry Kevin, these are all from the bridge, not some exotic locale.
Imagine what we'd find if we had brought Tim!

Haven't heard anything this morning (I could not get my stars to align so unfortunately did not make today's dawn dive) but yesterday evening reported viz 15-20ft, 81°. John - if you do go tonight please post a conditions report!
Thanks!
