Six hours in the water yesterday, along what is becoming my extended backyard. The conditions were fair, the visibility limited by the density of plankton. I'm feeling exceptionally comfortable in the water, loving the video gear. The water was warm, no upwelling, no abrupt thermoclines as in weeks past, but the days of warm water are limited. Randi noticed a thin layer of dust on our outdoor patio chairs, indicating the arrival of drier offshore winds.

Every dive leads to new personal discoveries: a new species of jelly (photos 1&2), and my first lobster sighting (photo 7). (I've since learned the lobster, greens, are available along the peninsula, more toward Cap Manuel.)
