The ocean cooperated for us this weekend.  Seas were consistently less than a foot the whole time.

The boat loaded with twelve sets of doubles plus deco bottles, scooters, munchies, and assorted other stuff.  We still made nearly 30 knots!

Captain Tony enjoying our diving antics.

Pig-out time Saturday night.

Here's one of the lobsters we caught... out of the restaurant aquarium.

Sleepy protects the divers on deco from sharks.  Notice the killer knife menacingly held between his teeth.  This is very effective at scaring off sharks.

Captain Tony relaxes as the autopilot takes us to our dive.

Joe and I get ready for the drop on the 280 foot deep 'Fuggedaboudit' wreck.

Jeff and Sleepy take a nap before going diving.  About a minute after this picture was taken, the top bunk support breaks and Jeff crashes onto Sleepy as everyone on the boat cracks up laughing.  I wish I'd gotten video of that!

Joe after he and I drop on the CSE to recover our grapple hook.  That hook has become part of the family; we'd no more leave it behind than a buddy.

Joe off the transom after the CSE dive.

Florida weather, true to form, went from beautiful and sunny to horrendous downpour, lightning, thunder, and howling wind in minutes.  Then, just as quickly, it got nice again.

No, he's not dead.  He's just keeping an eye on the decompressing divers.

I'm smiling because I just did an awesome dive on the Fuggedaboudit wreck and can't get over how much fun it was.
