Day two and three of our trip

Day two of our adventure begin with a dive on the USCG Bibb. Next stop was a shallow dip on Conch Reef. After the short hop down south we stopped on the wreck of the Eagle for a great dive, be sure and ask Adam about the fish he shot. We had a relaxing dive on Alligator reef, so many juveniles on this reef its unbelievable. The last dive of the day was on the shipwreck of the Thunderbolt, oh how I love this wreck I had to jump in with the guys for a quick dip. After this one we called it a day and motored down to Key West for the continuation of our journey.

Day Three
Day three started off at 8:00 am with a dive on the Vandenberg.....and here we are four more dives latter still on the Vandy. Five dives on the Vandenberg makes for a hell of a day. Now its time for some off gassing, Rum and some of Rita's Seared tuna and Fish for dinner. Next time you need to be on our Shipwreck Trek..

Day one of 7ships in 7 days

I'm sitting here enjoying my first cup of coffee after a great nights sleep moored up on Grecian rocks. We had a busy day yesterday on the first of seven on our shipwreck trek. Seven dives in all for the day. We started out with a check out dive on key largo dry rocks. This was the first time most to see the statue for most of the gang and the conduits where perfect. Flat seas and great vis makes for a wonderful dive. Next we headed to the speigel grove for a dive with seventy foot of vis an almost no current. The Benwood was our third dive of the day, there are so many fish on this wreck it's unbelievable. The wreck of the USCG Duane was the fourth dive of the day. The Duane is picture perfect of what a shipwreck is supposed to be. It is sitting perfectly upright in 120 feet of water and has so much fish life and coral growth it is just amazing. Our fifth dive was at molasses reef at the wench hole. This reef is always a crowd pleaser with it's coral and fish life. Sixth stop was on French reef. We tied up on Xmas tree caves, the favorite of one of our crew members. After this we took a small break and had a wonderful dinner of London broil from our new chef Rita(I think she's a keeper). We finished off the day with a night with a rare opportunity of a night dive on the Speigel Grove. Lol by 10 o'clock I walked through the boat and I was the Only person was was not racked out and sleeping like a baby. Well its time for me to go to work....its off to the USCG Bibb for our morning dive....
