Cove 2 last night was maybe 3' in the shallows -- at 60 feet, it was maybe 5. If I was face to face with my buddy, I could barely see his fins.

Vis on the North side of Sucia Island was horrible today, maybe 5ft. However the current was running like a river which did not help.

Cove 2 -- a very acceptable 10 to 15, and a great relief from the goo we were in last week!
