Pre H. Helene BHB, stormy with bouts of Sunshine. Storm blew threw when we arrived, then again as we were gearing up causing a late start to the dive. Vis was 15ft give or take and plenty of parking.
tentative plans for diving tomorrow at the Bridge, weather permitting.. storm should be north by high tide

Not surprised - Narcosis had to cancel this Friday’s dive due to weather.

Like a thresher shark - ain’t the teeth that’ll get ya, it’s the tail.

I just flew down from Philadelphia today. It was a pretty smooth flight, very glad I made it, I was not optimistic.

Walker's cancelled for tomorrow also. Neither Walker's nor Narcosis are on the timid side, they've been my go to operators out of Riviera Beach for many years.

Vis is gonna be 0 for a day or few, even if the winds die down right away.

Slight edit…trying to stay positive for the 3.5hr drive over from Tampa for Saturday and Sunday’s dives .

I'm hoping you're right and Jenny is wrong!

Boat access was also a no-go in that area. I was out near there at 8:00 this morning for a safety check on someone & I would not go out again. Closing the park was a legitimate decision.
