we stoped fishing and jumped in cuda&nurse sharks

Amanda and her fiancee, a return customer of mine, said they scuba dived the day before and it was OK. We were blessed our day was super with clear water. I saw a nurse sharks tail hanging out from under a ledge than I heard a shout "nice size turtle" another diver exclaims. I yelled turtle and we all jetted over, it was to much, and spooked Michael Angelo the big sea turtle. We all agreed later that turtle was big and fast. We had snuck up on him, all of us swimming up on him, he was surprised when he finally looked up at us and bolted. Still we all got a peek of him than the nurse shark I spotted earlier was just getting up from his nap and was heading right at us, we got some great pictures.
The blue water was in every fish we put out as bait and was eaten instantly. Everybody caught a fish or two. We all loved snorkeling unfortunately while fishing the hooks did not set to good and some big ones got away so we jumped in at the end. see the video

it just felt right the ocean reveiled its bluish face

Thank you for reading my blog entrees, I am headed out the channel in my Avon rigid bottom inflatable boat. It was like a flap jack on the griddle, pounding up and in down in the Atlantic waves. I made my way out to the sea dart, my sloop, no charter today so it was a nice windy for a sail. I found myself at the beach for awhile, just looking out into the abyss, key west kicks ass come take a gander with me.

Free Parking ........................

Set out in a summer storm with waves slapping the bridge shield every now and again, excited about the dive and fishing. We weathered it for 30 minutes while under way, all of a sudden like magic the seas turned calm. We enjoyed a long expert snorkel all the folks with me had great skills we jammed, with there eyes they spotting a nice fat grouper chilling. We were skimming the reef like sharks searching for food looking all about curiously. All the local resident fish were doing their thing even saw a few lobsters.. Fishing was fun hooked a dozen fish, the girls hooked a fish decided to released their fish My feeling is if you catch it you can do what you want with your catch, use it for bait, take it for dinner, or release it, so join me make your choice with your catch for some kick ass summer fun a exciting day off key west.a

beautiful key west florida day no wind just calm sea

Capt. Chuck, Here's the jumpers I promised to send you. Thank you for a great day Sunday.
We didn't expect a "hands-on" Charter Captain to jump in with us to make sure we had a good time.
It was a special treat for the kids AND the adults that we won't soon forget. Thanks also for the bonus Tarpon feeding.

the atlantic lay down it was play land for fish and us l

Dolphins everyplace, surprising us left and right. The wind from Dean left the island waters restored, a colorful coral garden. This playground we plunged into surrounded us in perfect water temperature with an abundance of fish. There were schools of blue runners that looked like they were out for a stroll, about the reef with mom and pop. Also the yellow tails huddling tightly, just chilling, feeling safe hiding amongst themselves. Lots of angels, parrots, nibbling on, a black dragon school wondering aimlessly.

The fishing rods did some bending today. The dolphins swam all around, some divers were near by, even a turtle came by to say hi. Hooked some tricky big fish, we filled the bucket with fish for the tarpon feeding, think you would feed on of these 100 pound plus tarpons by hand?

fun day of lobster hunting & spear fishing with buds

Lobster hid so well in their ocean habitat almost impossible to see. I was looking for a giant grouper that I saw last week but he wasn't home, good thing for him. Its always a exciting feeling getting a tasty dinner fish in your spear gun sights, come join me, find out 305 619 0731.

set out on the atlantic alone on my sloop lot of wind

The wind whisked me through the waves like a sleigh, with a lot of horses. I wrapped the jib sheet a few times around the winch and wow it took some muscle to trim in the sheet, the Sea Dart heeled considerably under full sail. Its was nice to hear the wind and waves sailing along. Its amazing how much more stable a sailboat is, the sail steadying things nicely, here are some pictures I took of me sailing today and a movie.
