Hey Marcus.

I'll probably be at Islamorada on the 14th, if things go well farther north with business things. I might be able to slip in a dive on the 14th if I get there early enough???? Will know better, later in the week.

Eagle is about 75' to the top of the hull (she lays on her side) and 110' to the bottom. If the current isn't too bad, it's a nice dive, lots to see and penetrations are possible as the wreck is broken in half.

I'll check the board the middle of next week, and let you all know how we are doing.

Dove today. Seas calmed to two ft or less on the reef. Vis up to 60 ft.
Don't know the forecast for Jan 14-15.
Am diving a class Thursday (today). Thursday is forecasted to be good.
Pat has an Eagle trip this Sunday.
Plow the snow from the drive and come on down.

Sorry Tom and others but I won't be able to make it this time. Have a great time and get warm.

Hey Tom,
We dove the Eagle yesterday. Seas were at 4 ft. A couple of 6 ft rolls. Not really a problem if you pay attention to your exit.
A very slight current. Tag line to the bow was out but I did not use it.
Visibility had to be 90 ft.
Nine divers on board. Nobody had any problems.
See you soon.
