    Goin' back to Boca, Boca, Boca

    Will be back in Boca 1/15-1/18, and am again diving with Force-E and Diversity!!!

    Also coming in February, over Mardi Gras to do it all over again.

    Just bought a new Henderson Hyperstretch 5mm suit and scubapro hooded vest (I'm not sure I can wear one of those, really feels restrictive around the neck,and the muffled ears are disconcerting).

    Anyhow, I'm hoping the seas calm down Friday night so that I don't chum the waters :sick: on Saturday AM.

    Crap, looks like the waves will be building all weekend! What alternatives do I have when seas run 5-7 ft?

    I'd be surprised if the seas were that flat this weekend.
