Sigh. Here I am sitting in Sarasota, so close to Molasses Reef (well, a LOT closer than I was on Catalina). Would be a pleasure to dive there again (it's been a few years). Hopefully I'll connect with you and Pete, Elena, on one of my future trips to care for Mom.
Hi Dr Bill,
That would be great. Looking forward to meeting you sometime.
Hope your Mom is doing well. Been there done that with both my folks.

The wind finally laid down for a bit. We went to a little patch reef in Islamorada(Secret Garden), 35 feet viz .
Hens and Chickens had no viz and also the Coast guard was boarding a boat for illegally fishing inside the reef(hooked on the mooring ball) so we moved on.
The moon jellies are still around and now they brought their nasty cousins the Man of war.

Not that December diving here in SoCal is all that bad, but I am looking forward to shedding a 7mm for a few days.
