Vis at Ginnie

[swadiver]

Looking for the latest vis report at the eye and the ear.

Thanks

50 feet +/-

Main line to about 1200', Hill 400 to 1400-ish, short-cut tunnel, and roller coaster all as Jim said, about 50' maybe more in some places....Bone line after 600' or 700' drops dramatically. That's all I got, sorry.

After reading the viz report I called Ginnie to see if it was full cave only still and it is. Is there a reason I don't know that the rule is still in effect? I thought it was dependent on viz

I don't know the criteria but eatlier asked Rick if it was open to cavern/intro and he said he was told they *almost* opened it today but will be next week aslong as conditions continue to improve. The ear still has a very dark "cloud" over it and viz iz near zero until the log. This may be the reason but I am only guessing.

went up hill 400 today, had to be around 60' or so. Blown away to see a manatee in the spring run...didn't think they came up to ginnie...maybe it was one of the alcoholic manatees

I saw three Manatees at the St Marks fish camp this weekend. I thought they only came up in the rivers during winter to get warm? I never heard of them being there in the middle of Summer?

Probably one of those party crazed college manatees that always shows up on the weekends.... Was it drunk and barely clothed?

There were manatees in the river by Ginnie following flooding caused by Tropical Storm Fay in 2008 as well.
