Story of my life this Summer.....Spashed the boat ONCE this summer in fresh water with my grandson...Runs Great.....Will lifes circumstances let me dive it this year?I no sooner make these plans; get to work tonight and get asked to work overtime this weekend, which probably means they'll be asking every week until the end of Oct! I declined the OT because I have plans to dive the U853 Sunday and though I could work then dive it is really an exhausting and long day for me. Likewise driving back to RI after working all night and diving all day. We need the money too, the vet called this AM one of my dogs may have a bladder tumor and the ultrasound to find out is going to cost $350.00! This was after I got back from the LDS leaving $175.00 there!
I expect I'll be bowing out of this party.

Sorry to hear that. I had a number of those years were I did one or two dives, sucks. I dove the U853 today. The vis down to 90fsw was tropical probably 50ft. I stopped for a minute at 60fsw looked up and spotted to divers at 20fsw. At 90fsw we saw what looked like a black object maybe the sub? No the sub is another 10' 20' deeper it was the thermocline! The vis dropped to 6" to 1' and the temp went from 70F 56F! A cold dark dive @ 120fsw.

Wow...That dramatic a thermocline?....6'' at 120...with all the **** around structure...I'd have my cutting tools in hand the whole dive....must have been a calm day out there...keep divin A.D.

It would have been dead calm except for 3' to the ocaisional 5' swells at long intervals. On the sub was a strong current, which is unusual for the sub. I think the storms have brought in deep ocean cold water and the gulf stream explaining the exceptionally clear water above 90fsw. Dry suit time coming up!
