The above forecast (which is supposed to deteriorate) leaves me thinking I don't want to chance running into weather like I did a week ago that far offshore, especially with 5 divers and gear on board a 21' boat.

I think I'm going to change this to the Rainbow river backup dive trip like I have mentioned in "TBAD Part4". I'm sorry if I have disappointed anyone, But I just don't want to get in over my head like I almost have before. (see, i can be taught) Look at the bright side, we can go as a much larger group now.

I can pack another diver with me in my truck, and if anybody who wants to come doesn't have a ride I'll try to find someone to squeeze you in with.

Who's with me............

I've a place in the car for a diver with gear, leaving from South Tampa.

Count Me in. I can fit another Diver although I will be driving the Grand Marque instead of the explorer. (anyone want an explorer Cheep? )

I am in Land O' Lakes / Westly Chaple area.

Sounds to me like a perfect excuse to get a bigger boat

Ok, we are up to 5 divers now. Just a thought. if you all want, we can do a drift dive on the Rainbow river, then pack up and head to any of the nearby rivers/springs for a second dive.

Hmmm, i have to pay more attention to these....

 

[frogman_5]

I can bring "the big grey bus" (F150 Supercrew). Can fit 6 and gear.

Still watching the weather for Sat. maybe we'll get lucky?
