This morning (Saturday)it is just cloudy and light rain here in S. Miami.
I'm hopin that all others here are as safe and unaffected by this storm as we are.
I saw where Isaac passed Puerto Rico and hope all is well with Marco and others there.
Cuba looks to be hit soon and some spearos here have people there as well.

Brothers--is flat, calm and clear out here right now. Hope it's not our last chance for a while.

Sdeisen/Nate---WOW, that was nice.
Nice fish and nice vid

Thank you for sharing

Alejandro--I would use caution when solo yak freediving in current. An old friend of mine once was solo freediving in 3+mph current, got busy with fish and ended up down current of his boat. He said that he tried for hours to swim back up current to his boat, got too tired an gave up. He spent the night out there and we found him the next day drifting towards Miami from the Keys.:@
I always carry 200f of poly line with a float/dive flag on the end. I tie one ent to the yak and deploy all the line out behind the yak whenever there is lots of current. That way IF I do get down current of my yak I can always swim over to the float line and pull myself back to the the yak.
Hope this helps

Finally got a chance to get out again today, and what a beautiful day in the water.

I see dolphin on most days from the yak, but it has been a long time since I saw one in the water with me.
