MOLASSES REEF X 2, friday, 7/21/17, pics

[reefman]

sun/clouds/storms, south wind 10KTS, seas 1-3FT(rockin/rolling tied on to the mooring ball). the deep reef/wrecks undoable this AM, awash in strong currents. so we elected to deal with the flow and double @ shallow northern MOLASSES reef as we had it to ourselves(everyone else @ French reef /benwood). buoys M8(hole in the wall/winch hole) and M10(eagle ray alley). mdt current, decent dusty blue viz 40-60FT, water 85F. large green turtle, reef/nurse sharks, green morays and schooling snappers(grey, dog ,schoolmaster). timg provides the pics,,,,,,,,,
