Where have you been? You forgot to let us know you'd be gone, you know?
What did you miss; lots of sharks this year (well more than I usually see in a given season), more turtles than I usually see, spotted eagle rays living out at The Sheridan/Blackthorn, and quite a bit of spearing.

mcgowman - how was Blue Heron Bridge? Take any piccers? Try to send anyone to the top?
Blue Heron was cool, well worth the trip. Somewhat reminded me of the town pier in Bonaire. Lots of critters in a small place: midnight parrot fish, snook, arrow crabs, banded coral shrimp, juvenile spotted moray eels, lobster, sharptail eel, high hat, and a juvenile (queen?) angelfish.
Dove it with DebbyDiver from down south. She made a great buddy. She took the pics, but haven't seen any results yet.
I stayed an extra day and did a double dip with Capt. Todd on the American Dream II down in Fort Lauderdale. We did the Mercedes and a couple of reefs. I forgot how big that wreck is. There was a mondo GG hanging about 50ft south of the wreck. He must have been 300+ lbs.
Managed to scoop up 5 lobster, but 3 keepers got away. There were plenty bugs for the picking. Think it was a good trip because:
- First good weather day in about a 5 days (had been 3 to 5 foot seas), so nobody had been hitting the reefs for a few days.
- Late in summer, so most of the females have dropped their eggs.
I was really surprised that all the bugs were in great shape... i.e. no broken antenna or missing legs (Well there is one cripple now... it dropped a couple of limbs getting away from me :shocked2: )
