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....
