Lock 21 this afternoon, 34F, viz 10ft, big current.

So surprise the viz is so bad. I would expect better this time of the year. Am I wrong?

normaly, in the winter, the viz is better. last year in january, we really saw the lock 21, from one end to the other. cave clear water.

but this year, maybe with the fact there was no ice, the viz is realy down.

 

[j yaeger]

the winds and the water levels have been raising hell
viz at the bay was about 10' yesterday
...but don't have to use the saw to dive!!!!!!!
have fun

but if a saw is needed, chances are the water won't be that "cold"

 

[j yaeger]
