Key Largo Friday Night Mini Season

[DonV]

Danny, I'm hoping our CSC guys are having better luck than a couple of my friends down there are. High winds, rain, cloudy water and so far not too much luck. Wishing them well!

[Snookerd]

Don- If it was like our weather then there is going to be a decent start for next month's reg season due to less pressure

[NoBones]

Well, what can we say other then IT BLOWS!
and blows and blows...
Total of 5 for the day..
Blowing this AM at a steady 21 plus mph!!!
Gulf side was just as bad

More later, Ken

[DonV]

Well...I'm going to drink a beer hoping you all do better today. "For all you do, this Bud's for you"....and your bugs!!

[Snookerd]

Hopefully the eye of the storm moves over you guys today for a momentary break from that wind.

[DonV]

Yeah......it's too bad the tropical storm's name is Don!!!!

[NoBones]

It was a tough "2 day" this year....
Most of my favorite places on the Atlantic were
either covered up by grass or a bunch of short bugs!
The wind had been blowin' for weeks prior which many of you
know keeps things cloudy for diving.
Here are a few pics from the Bug-BQ last night!

Lil Kenny, with a fresh Hog Snapper with Capt. Denny!

Bones...did you keep Denny out of the "Pappy Van Winkle"

Them are fight'in words there, nobody gets between a man and his Bourbon without some trouble

Denny was nice enough to share the last bit with me at West Palm, for that I am forever grateful.

Bones...did you keep Denny out of the "Pappy Van Winkle"

In a word, NO! Was able to share with SkipperT, Blue Heron and GFS & offered some to No Bones & crew but they were in a hurry to return to work! Nothing like good times with great friends, good food and good Bourbon! Getting to see Carl and Jeanne again was the highlight! Gave Carl an old book I bought years ago titled "High Performance Powerboats", written in 1968 by Uffa Fox, an English naval architect. Carl knew about Uffa Fox and said he was also a well known sailboat designer, but that he never had time to go over there to participate in the rough Cowes to Torquay race in the English Channel during the early 60's. (He was too busy winning races over here!) He seemed to be real interested in reading this fairly technical book.

Thanks again to SkipnCarla for being such generous and gracious hosts and to Dave & Julie for supplying the bugs we weren't able to nail in the Key Largo area! Denny
