Key Largo diving perfecta gives way to Islamorada Bay Jam

The past few days have been perfect diving conditions in Key Largo.  The wind, seas, current, and visibility have all joined together in unison to spoil our divers.  But, as they say, all good things must come to an end, even if temporary.

This mornings divers were met with stronger winds, rougher seas and less visibility.  The wind and seas started to pick up during their first dive and we decided to error on the side of caution and come in early.  Based on the chatter on the marine radio, most of the others followed.  Those that stayed to "rough it out" were met with a passing storm and wind gusts around 30 kts.  One boat even called TowBoatUS to come get some seasick passengers and bring them to shore...serious?

I'm not the weatherman, but the "man" is predicting for the wind and seas to not be so perfecta tomorrow as well.  Maybe that will help the turnout at the annual Bay Jam at Founders Park in Islamorada.  I believe it's the 18th year they have been doing this, and all for a good cause.

Hope to see you there and out on the water...next week!
