Happy New Year! What a great last day of the year we had today at the bridge. The water temperature was seventy-five and the vis was thirty feet. A sunny day with a high of seventy-six made for pleasant diving. The polkadotted batfish and the juvenile blue angelfish were between the channel pilings and the concrete bridge support. What I believe was a juvenile sharptail eel was poking through the debris in the same area. The octopus was still in its lair and the bandtail searobin was posing for a photographer. My eleven-year-old dive buddy was taking it all in with joy. It's hard to believe our friends and families in the northland are experiencing snow storm after snow storm when we enjoying the weather we have. Get in the water, Ham
