dive flag bullet round.gif (201 bytes) Finally got to dive today. Went for a ride on the "Strike Force" and hit the Logwood and the NE Sailor. Although we knew the Logwood was dove this weekend, it still made for a nice dive. The warm blue water down to about 45' easily had visibility of 50'. No lobsters, few fish and only a couple of small scallops were seen. Temp on the bottom was 41-42 with about 20' of vis.

The Sailor was a little warmer and had less vis, but was still a good dive.

08/07/04We entered Shark River Yacht Club's Fluke tournament today. Although we didn't come close we had a full day of catching Fluke and Sea Bass, with 18 keeper Fluke.

Frank had the boat's pool winner; too bad we didn't start a pool!

08/13/04Offshore Powerboat Race Today. I took Budget Towing's 41 out for standby duty at the race. It wasn't long before one of the big boats launched off a wave and stuffed the bow into the next wave.

Rescue team members remove the 3 members.

Coming alongside to secure what remains. Although it doesn't look like much, there is approximately $100,000 worth of hardware still here.

Safe from sinking we head back to the dock

08/20/04dive flag bullet round.gif (201 bytes) Today we headed down to the Tolten, but with the seas growing and the boat pounding we stopped at the Mohawk. 15-20' vis and 53º. on the bottom. Same conditions on the Cadet. 1 bug for the day was brought up.
