Yippee,the wind has died!

[100days-a-year]

After being blown out 4 weekends in a row we have 2ft seas or less tommorrow .A 4 ft easterly swell,but with a 13sec wave period we'll do over 30kts.Got a vis report from someone today .....30'vis at 100' roughly 20 miles out.Time to go find out if there's still anything left in the ocean.I really enjoyed diving in the river with 2kt current and 12" to 18" vis(yes that was " not ')but the sea temp is 84 and I was getting cabin fever.Maybe a poll to see what the average time between dive trips is would be nice.

The wind may have died, but it churned up a mess. West of tarpon springs on Sat. AM, in 65' vis. was 1-2' MAX. Makes it hard to find what you are looking for.

maybe for you - now it's our turn. Typhoon due to land tonight and 95 knot winds predicted.

Looks like I might get soggy on the way home....
