$40 a night, and its beach side... 100 yards to the water

Madeline, this is a great price if the rooms are halfway clean! I won't be able to stay overnight. Not really sure if I'll even make it at all. Same ol' story... not enough hours in the day... Gotta get my "ducks in a row" it's been a busy couple of weeks!

It shouldn't matter to much. If it were Venice Beach, we'd have issues, but its different on the east coast.. right Jenny??

Saturday
South winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet near shore and up to 3 to 5 feet well offshore. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Scattered showers and thunderstorms

Seas 2-3 are very doable, but there will be a bit of surge, and the vis will be low. Reality is that we will not know until Sat morning exactly what the conditions are like.
I spoke to Keith at OceanWatch a few minutes ago, and he told me that the beach cleanup will go on, diving or not. Also, the Cleanup Party is still on. They have a huge tent that has room for 40 tables. So, the worst case scenerio is that some will decide not to dive, and walk the beach instead. Then off to the Cleanup Party, then off to my house for the after after party!

OK folks, I have some good news and some bad news. What do you want to hear first? The bad news? Ok
The diving is cancelled this weekend.
The good news is there still is a beach clean up, party afterwards, and an after after party.
SO, just because there is no diving, no reason to cancel our plans to party!!! Besides, I cleaned my house...sigh...

Ditto to what he said. So I quess while some of you will be walking the beach a few of us will be diving under the beach, so to speak.
Have fun to all those still going.
