Keys trip

[joey c]

Hello everyone. Well me and my son made a trip down to the keys on friday afternoon. We got there about 3:00 pm, put the boat in the water and drove out to french reef. The vis was about 60 feet and we had a great dive. There was alot of snapper and grouper and the reef looks like it is coming back from last years stroms ok. We went back to our slip and cooked some steaks on the grill. than the wind picked up and it got down to about 66 overnight, it was nice to sleep in, but I knew that it was going to hurt the vis for the next day. On saturday we got up and went to mollasses reef and the vis was down to about 40 feet with 3 to 4 foot seas, but we made the best of it and had two good dives. Hey I spend time with my 15 year old son and was in the keys for a day or so, so how could it get any better than that. Going back down there in a few weeks for 5 days or so. I hope the vis gets a litter better. seeeeeeeee ya.

I'm trying to go down to Key Largo on Memorial Day. Since I'm too lazy to look up the bouy online, what was the water temp? Thanks.

the viz in the upper keys has been mostly in the 70ft or better range on some reefs lately(usually molasses or snapper ledge}
