Once again we had a really good time on the Keys weekend. We returned to the Ragged Edge and again had the whole resort to ourselves. That makes it really nice. We were blessed with good weather and flat seas for our dives on Saturday morning and we even managed to catch a few lobsters. Conch Republic Dive Center always treats us well.

Our sea food fest was a really good time despite the fact that we had a low turnout. As you know, I sent out an email asking if there was a reason people didn’t attend. So far the majority of the responses I have received tell me we aren’t doing something wrong. Many people were traveling and some had other commitments. I guess we all lead pretty busy lives. I hope that next year we will have a bigger turnout.

Summer is officially over but our weather is still good and the water is still warm. Check out the calendar and join us for a dive.

Our holiday party will be held at the VFW this year due to our usual venue being unavailable to us. It will be a little different this year as a result. Please check for details on the calendar and save the date, December 2.

A big thank you to Joe Smariga for coordinating the Keys weekend and for doing the cooking at the seafood fest.

I hope to see many of you soon on a dive, a meeting or any of the other events we have coming up.

Live long and lobster.
