I'm leaving at 0730; anyone have a temp idea? May have an OW student for Beeks; a rather thin young lady.

All, as always it was a great day of diving, viz 25'+, temps mid 50's, saw a northern pike for first time, plenty of catfish, one big ole smallie, and had a dynamite time with friends old and new - then we ate, what a great conglomeration of grub in the soup pots - so much it looked like stew instead

We had Old Bay, chorizo, onions, smoked sausage, corn, green beans, black beans, smoked sausage, diced maters, smoked sausage, diced maters with peppers, smoked sausage, taters, celery, in the soup. It was very good, and warm which was appreciated.

Thanks all that attended.

It was a beautiful late fall day for diving. Got in 3 nice dives. I love the diversity of fish life at Haigh. Bass, blue gill, crappie, northern pike, catfish. We even saw a couple of turtles. Sunny, air temps in the mid 50s, water temps right around 51 top to bottom. Great day!
