Lord help me !!!

If I'm still walking upon this old earth when Matt passes on, I SWEAR I'm going to fill his casket with water and drop a Spare-Air in there with him.

Ocean and wrecks, Matt, we want ocean and wrecks, not holes in the ground !!!!

Fer serious though... Its been a very mild winter as far as water temps go. It never dropped into the mid-50s on the surface temps, so I'd expect the bottom temps are going to be on the higher side of average this year.

When I went out to the YDT's last month bottom temps were at 65* with surface temps in the upper 60's. With the mild winter temperatures we have experienced since I would expect bottom temps to be either a tad warmer or the same. I went out in my 6.5 mm semi-dry and was very comfortable. Here is a link to bouy 42039 out of Pensacola that will give you some idea of what to expect. NDBC - Station 42039
