It was another windy day here in the Keys. The winds have been up over 20 knots. We left Stock Rock hoping to beat the winds but the ocean was angry so we went out back, up the NW channel. We headed to Cottrell Key and the Amesbury (Alexander?) wreck hoping things would be better bayside. It gave the crew the chance to experience the Pearl under full sail. By the time we got to Cottrell Key the winds were really blowing but we were protected a bit by the key. The crew went diving and snorkeling in the 15 ft water. Some of the crew saw lobsters and even some octopus so they went back out to lobster, catching 5 undersized bugs. By now the winds were howling and another dive boat reported conditions at the Amesbury were bad so we headed back to 'the barn'. Once we were on the mooring the crew started fishing for bait fish with Denny's summer sausage. After they caught a few bait fish they started fishing for sharks. They caught a few sharks, one even on a yo-yo. It was great fun and the crew was really up.
