Poor vis. Blazing heat. Nothing unusual found. Glad we went diving.

We don't have air conditioning at home. It doesn't get hot enough for AC in West Torrance many days during the year. Today was one of those days when we did not want to stay home. I used a hose clamp to squeeze our rigging in place so I could shift the starboard motor while we wait for the mechanic. I had no trouble shifting today, but the motor quit twice. I had to loosen the hose clamp because it was crimping the fuel line. If it's not one thing, it's another.

We finally made it to Golf Ball Reef where we enjoyed great visibility just two days ago. We had dark, dirty water today with barely eight feet visibility. We didn't explore far from the anchor so nothing out of the ordinary was seen.
