Why do you and Clay have to take all my work and make it hard for me to feed my babies? And the hammer thing, that was my idea. I should at least be getting some royalties.

Anyway: Here are the lights of the bridge from the bottom of the channel(Guessing 25 feet). I could also see the moon through the water column, but wasn't able to get a decent shot of it.

Agreed!

30-40' at Three Tree on the last day of February, although down deep things were a bit stirred up from a big ol' male Sea Lion doing silt bombs. :)
