We had a great fathers day dive. We ran my boat 17 miles offshore out of the IRI De. Three divers and one diver along for the ride because of health issues,but it was great to have his help (thanks Eric).
We headed out in cloudy skies and some pretty good rollers coming at us for my 28' boat. Arrived at our destination with no problem finding the wreck with my sonar but it was a different story with the grapnel. We finally hooked in on the fourth try but we'll call it three,one we wont count because the anchor and chain got so fouled it wouldnt have hooked an underwater bridge.
We suited up for the first of two dives. I was the last to go down in 90fsw,viz was 10-15.As I was being helped to gear up my friend bolts for the back of the boat and I thank him for making it. In short time he was back to helping out again. One diver was looking for trinkets,one spear fishing,and me just site seeing. Our first diver down got four nice flounder,and the second didnt find anything worth scavenging. I was just enjoying the down time and sites,lots of fish and several sub-legal lobsters. On the second dive we bought up a nice one.
We had two nice dives and it was time to pull the anchor and head in with the seas increasing and a rain shower hitting us. It was a good fathers day!
Thanks guys
