Anyone vacationing in Cozumel next week?

Current plots have Emily headed directly for Cozumel, arriving there in 5
days... Maybe Florida will skate by *this* one... Maybe Texas will get some
rain from it -- they really need it...

Oh lordy, I hope so. We've had a little rain in Austin, 1/2 inch in
the past week in Oak Hill. But our water bill for June was
horrendous. I'm keeping the thermostat at 83 during the day and
wearing shorts and t-shirts unless I've got a customer call.

Heading to Travis in a little bit. We've got an evening dive and
fireworks show planned at Windy Private.

Jim,
Been to Morehead/Beaufort lately?

I was there last weekend and it was GREAT!!

Seas were practically flat. Viz was 60-80. Lots of fish life.
We dove the Atlas tanker and the Carribsea on Saturday and the Papoose
and the Spar on Sunday. Water temp was mid 80's on the surface, and
lowest was about 73 on the bottom.

Looks like I might be heading back to Houston in a month or so... The
contract up here in Cedar Rapids is probably going to end in the latter part
of August... I guess I won't get to experience a Iowa winter... Bummer... I
really had my hopes up that I would get a chance to truly freeze my 'nads
off... <grin>

Ah Travis... Heatstroke on the surface, hypothermia at 60 ft...

Isn't a vasectomy less invasive?

Still looks like it's heading for Coz... Perhaps Brownsville will get some
rain out of it if it doesn't turn northward... If things go right, maybe the
Guadalupe will be a bit more interesting for tubing....

Damn straight. Rains dropped the air temps to around 90. Surface
temp was around 80, it was 74 at 40 feet and 68 at 60. Don't know
what it was below 70, I was only wearing a 3 mm shorty and a hood.

After going to 70, going back to 30 was so hot I had to open the wet
suit. My buddy said he though about peeing in his just to get some
colder water in it.

Yeah, last time I was there, we had to tie our gear off to the side of my
boat and put it on in the water because we were getting so close to
heatstroke just putting our wetsuits on while in the boat... I don't
remember a depth where it was comfortable... It went from way to hot to way
to cold for a 3mm full suit in just a few feet... Don't remember the actual
depth where it changed -- probably around the 40-50 ft level... On top of
that, it gets rather dark down there... We had thought that we might be able
to find the sunken town that is supposed to be near one of the islands
(don't remember the name of the island -- Stearn's, perhaps?)... As we
follow the anchor line down, we start going through this surreal scene of
old dead trees that you can't see until your right in the middle of them...
Even with my HID light, it was dark... Once we got down below the
thermoclime, we decided to turn the dive because we weren't able to see
anything and it was too damn cold... Spent the rest of the day drinking beer
and running up and down the lake in my boat...

Yes, that's Stearns. I've been to the old millhouse off Windy Point,
when the lake was down to 580. Amazingly, it's still at around 670 in
July.
