Despite a pretty heavy snowfall overnight, which persisted right up to the time divers gathered at the Club, we put 6 divers in the water today for the New Year's Day dive. It's probably no coincidence that all of them were in drysuits. Navy Bay was chosen as a nearby, easily-accessible venue. The dive proved to be a gentle tour of the area beyond the ramp and pier, with ample time to look for little 'treasures'. Find of the day was a little stoneware bottle that had contained blacking. It was found by Chris Haslip and it's in beautiful condition. Adam, whose presence was a rare delight these days (his business makes heavy demands on his time), could only compete in the finds department by returning a dinghy rudder to dry land. Time in the water was just about 34 minutes. The water temperature was 34F (2C) and the air temperature - on a relatively calm day (NE wind) - was -2C (28F).

Adam found a rudder and tiller from a dinghy of some kind.
I dove today also: Guy Harvey wreck out of Hillsboro inlet in Boca Raton FL. Great dive 140Ft to the sand, slight current, chilly 79 degree F...good viz at about 40 to 50 Ft.
I would like to thank all of the 5 other divers for an enjoyable dive today.
Looks like great fun.
I wish I could have joined you.
Nice to see Adam out as well.
Jim
