Bruce always good to get a little variety..I have stayed at AKR several times myself but it has been a long time. I would like to try that side of the island again. Be sure to give us a trip report when you return.

Ann,

No problem I am having a hard time concentrating at the moment, I think they call it short timers syndrome. I hear the tide coming in, the picture is becoming clear, the job stress is leaving, oh sorry reality hits the kids are up.

I may not get to make it Sunday after all. Sport Diver's has had my regulator for 2 weeks and still have not finished the annual on it. They say that nothing is wrong with it, just haven't gotten to it. Not sure I will get it back tomorrow

Ed....we've got an extra set of regs if that's all that's keeping you away.

What time are you all planning on being there? Have a wedding and reception to go to tonight, so might not dive tomorrow. At least would like to stop by and say hello.

I went by Twin Lakes today about 4, talked to Sheila and she said that the Swamp divers had already been there and gone. Sorry I missed you'all. I hope to get by there another time on a Sunday when it gets a little warmer.

Beast and I had a nice time at the lake today. TPH got there just after we did. Sure was nice to have my Phinn Bud along once again. Leisurom strolled over and visited a bit. Missed the rest of ya'll!

Water was pegged at 69º above 18-20ft. Didn't stay below that long enough for a reading! I was testing a new Hyperstretch 3mm shorty and was real pleased with it. Yes...I finally found some rubber I can stand! It was cloudy and the typical winds were blowing.

Vis was about 6-8 feet, depending on how you judge it. The bubble grass is really pretty, it loves cold water, and the other varieties are starting to grow. Saw lots of big Bass and big Perch, no intermediates. But the best sighting was a school of about 500 est. 1" baby Bass! I haven't seen them that small or in that large a school. Usually by the time they are finger size, they are really skittish and in groups of 6 or less.

All-in-all a very cool day!
