    kayak in boca today from 230ish to 515
    the first few hundred yards from shore were crystal clear but as usual that was no indicator as to viz on the reef.
    on the shallowest rockwork it was prob 15 feet viz in 30 feet of water.
    i paddled out to 80 feet and couldnt see the bottom at any point on the way down (very ominous) and paddled my smartass back into the shallow stuff. my speargun recently went missing so i was primarly just tryin oout my new wetsuit. i dropped on two VERY nice muttons especially considering it was only 25-30 feet of water (where they are usuallly barely legal), they were smart though and even with a long aspetto they never came close enough in and i wouldnt have gottten them if i had my gun. Also had a super fat red grouper follow me an hour from patch to patch. i could have stabbed him with a shaft he was so inquisitive.


    the bad viz was to be expected considering how blown out its been the past days.

    alan, yes but this time i forgot, i dont notice a difference.


    and mike sure, allthough i bet its similar to most other recipes
    scale and gutted whole fish
    cut 2 or 3 slices down to the bones on each side.
    put on baking pan with a thin layer of olive oil on the bottom
    i then spread a thin bit of oil on the fish itself
    next i rubbed minced fresh garlic on fish and into the slits that i cut.
    a little bit ofground black pepper and all purpose seasoning (Badia)
    my roomate added a bunch of veggies like carrots and diced peppers which i dont like but it didnt really affect the outcome
    (to me the best is just lemon, onions and real garlic spread over the fish)
    preheated oven to 375, let bake on bottom rack for 20 min, then turned heat up t0 415 for the last 10 min of baking.

    doing dynamic in a pool when u dont have easy access to the oceanl helps alot and often is the most convenient way to pracctice "freediving". i think any breath hold exercise is useless unless you do so with some level of frequency, though

    many many man-o-wars today all the way to the third reef.there wasn't 5 feet between them in some spots i dove my entire anchor line today in great viz, and water doesn't feel tooo cold. hope some others made it out, i heard hau did

    longboard and guiness are the only beers i drink, and longboard has a hawaiin word under every cap
    im not sure the authenticity oof them,
