Palm Beach Dive Thread

I just flew down from Philadelphia today. It was a pretty smooth flight,

60mph head winds on your runway,,,, and they probably only needed a couple of feet to touch down.

I hope the strong east winds can push in blue water to get some viz cause the gulf stream is gonna be tough. Good news is they have not opened Lk Okee outflow at all.

If anyone hears about test dive reports, good or bad.....Post them up !!

What??? Me wrong?

I hope so, I'd like to go diving this weekend. The forecast looks good.

Same.. actually thinking the bridge tomorrow.. with fingers crossed... if the storm lifts up and away quickly. This forward motion should help.

If I had time I'd go tomorrow, despite the probability of impaired visibility. Sometimes storms like this stir up creatures from the deep & put them into places where they are not normally found. You never know what you might see immediately after a storm. It's one of those roll-the-dice opportunities that comes along every now & then.

Back when I used to play with Cessnas, I got into such strong headwinds one day that I was able to fly the plane backwards over land at minimum controllable air speed. A real strong headwind like that can make it a easy to get down onto the runway, but trying to taxi around on the ground can be a real roll of the dice in those conditions.

Not sure I want to make the hour commute to take the chance...

I'm desperate for some dive condition reports. If you go out today or tomorrow, please report in.
