Gorgeous day at the bridge! We had a bright, sunny, and WARM day at the bridge (and everybody knew it because it was standing room only). The visibility was better than thirty feet except for where new students were kicking up the bottom. It's a good place to kick up the bottom if the bottom is going to get kicked up. Anyway, the water temperature out by the channel was seventy-one and seventy-three by the beach. I am sad to report that the little sailboat wreck right off the beach has been removed. I'm not sure how much of a danger it posed to anyone, but it was a great sanctuary for little fish and a great attraction to snorkelers and divers alike. The wreck just to the south of the one that has been removed is still there, marked by a plastic bottle. I will see if the new wreck, the one close to the channel, is still there on Monday. On a more positive note, now that the Park is a no-take zone for fish collectors, we are seeing many more juveniles. My dive buddy and I saw a beautiful tiny, tiny spotfin butterfly fish and, of course, many juvenile french and gray angelfish. What a treat. Get in the water, Ham
