Another day of fabulous vis at the bridge! An open water student and I experienced 20'-30' of vis depending on where we were. It was actually a little shorter out by the channel as might be expected on a Sunday with much boat traffic. The Intracoastal had a good chop going and even some white caps out in the open area north of the bridge from a north wind that brought a noticeable chill. The water was still seventy-five; with a 5mm wetsuit and a 3mm hooded vest I was toasty warm. The octopus was still between the second and third set of pilings. We saw one of the little spotted eagle rays between the beach and the first set of pilings. At the stern of the second wreck off the beach was a large bandtail searobin combing the sand for a meal. The diving was great even if we did not want to get out into that cold north wind. Bring a coat! Get into the water, Ham
