Night visit to the KGH wreck...

Despite light drizzle and an overcast sky, Kevin, Jim and I ventured into the water this evening for a gentle tour of the wreck off Murney Tower. This was Jim's first visit and a night dive was the only one he was going to fit into a busy schedule this weekend. There was a light current flowing downstream, which made the transit slightly longer than usual. There wasn't a great deal of fish life either. A large Drum was seen in the weeds on our return and a couple of catfish were lurking in the dark. Jim seized the opportunity to try out a new reel from Whatworks. It performed flawlessly - even with drygloves in use. Water temperature, with a thermocline at 55 feet again, was just 64℉ (18℃). Curiously enough, this was the air temperature too.
