The Gypsy Blood went out to the Delaware this past Saturday. The wind was blowing, but seas were mostly calm, with an occasional roller.
Water was cloudy for the first 30 feet or so, and a bit dark on the bottom, but viz was a good ten feet on the bottom. Bottom temp was 55.
I had two nice dives, 50 minutes each, which was all that my computer would allow. After a leaky summer, just in time for the fall dive season, I've finally aqua sealed up every hole in the drysuit and I was toasty and warm. It's a good thing Aqua Seal comes in a 24 ounce tube.
Quite a few big lobsters still up in the bow, I don't think anyone caught any. A few sea bass but nothing to get excited about. I also saw quite a few tiny butterfly fish. I guess they missed the return trip on the Gulf Stream.
About 100 feet SE of the boilers, I found a large pipe, I'm guessing a sewer main. About 8 or 10 feet long and 5 ft in diameter. Much too cleanly defined to be the shell of a boiler, and marine growth all around the inside. Anyone know anything about it?
Captain brought us a big cooler with a wet surprise, which made putting on gloves and hoods a pleasure on the second dive. Another great day out on the Gypsy Blood. Thanks Jim!
