    Dove Manatee on Sunday (17th), catfish hole to Sue's sink. The flow was swift indeed. (actually the strongest flow I've yet experienced.) I suspect exiting the main spring may be uncontrollable. Vis wasn't bad, some particulate matter.

    We were there Saturday. Catfish on up past Sue about 500 feet then back down through the traverse to the main spring. Flow was stronger thean usual. Vis was great, probably 30 or 40 ft.

    On the way back out... Who ever is picking up the Primary Reel will need to stay horizontal with fin tips slightly down or you will get tumbled. If you have never been tumbled while running or retrieving line you’re in for a ride.

    That would be an E-ride. Well so it seems after it's over. Anyone else out there 'know' what an e-ride is?

    Default you've lived in Orlando HOW LONG!!!

    Only you, me and Buddy Pittman. Everytime someone crashes in NASCAR that's what he says. I'll trade you two "C's" for an E and see you after you get off Small World.

    Default A little bit off topic,

    but did anyone happen to notice what the swimming areas are like?

    I am diving at Manatee tomorrow, and was wondering whether or not to bring the family along.

    TIA
