Scott, along with two other executives from the bank joined me in the Keys for a brief planning retreat, with a little recreation along the way.  Of course seas were calm the day before they came as well as the day they arrived. Then the winds began to freshen - Scott and I got out diving before it got out of hand.  With winds 10-12 knots from the north, we headed out to Molasses Reef with Chuck D. who was going to snorkel while we dived.  A little bumpy ride, but with winds  being out of the north we didn't face big rollers and the reef provided some protection.  By the end of our dive the wind had subsided to 8 knots and it was very pleasant.  78 degrees and sunny and 77 degree water.  We tied up in the shallow area of the reef so Chuck could snorkel.

Scott and I saw a lot of fish, nice coral and encountered  a nurse shark as well as an eel and some nice angel fish.  Captured some decent images.  Click on photos below to cycle the gallery.
