Stayed in the bight last night. Busiest I have seen it in years. WillyT was interesting with a huge showing by the Puerto Rican Navy. Knocked out a quick dive this morning and headed to Cooper to grab a FCFS after losing the boatyball lottery. Arrived at 10:45 to find no balls left. Headed back down and have Deadman’s bay all to ourselves. Grandkids spending hours on the beach. Boatyball might have done me a favor!

Any construction activity at Deadman's? Yes, they are putting foundations in for what appear to be restaurants and lodging. Quite a bit of progress since our last trip in January. We were there on a weekend so no activity - I can imagine it would be loud while work is ongoing.

It was dead quite yesterday at Deadman’s. Decided to audible and make Cooper a lunch stop so granddaughter would not hate me. All FCFS balks taken. We got a good one at 9. Any TTOL members heading this way? I will save it for you. If not we are going to auction it off at noon! Opening bid 300! Haha - hysterical Gerorge!

How has JV Dyke been for moorings? We’re headed down in two weeks and that may be the only place we shoot for a BoatyBall. Super busy when we were there 3/27-4/11. Were at JVD twice for three nights each stay. One morning I counted 42 masts in Great Harbor alone and 12 in Little Harbor. No idea how many power cats were also in Great Harbor. Boats were anchored everywhere in White Bay - even on the outside of the channel markers. I have never seen it that busy (but we never travel over Christmas and New Years).

The only lottery we won this trip was in Cane Garden - which was also packed the Sunday we visited.
We had some great dives at the Dogs this trip.
Enjoy!!
We dove the dogs this afternoon after leaving Cooper. Best vis I have seen in a long time. Did great dog first. They are down to 4 balls there now. Sure wish they would replace a few. We were going to dive Bronco Billy’s for a second dive but a boat was on there when we arrived and still there 3 hours later. No dive gear on the boat and everyone just lounging. Headed to Savannah Bay for the night.
