Notes: 

The Gulf was a rather cold.  Need to buy hood and gloves.  Saw some interesting animals.  One in particular was black with orange stripes and was clinging to a sponge.  I saw a huge sponge that even if I tried I would not have been able to put my arms around.  We saw a whole school of fish that was about 20 yards from where the boat was anchored.  To bad we didn't anchor there, we would have been more productive at fishing.  If we didn't surface early because of the cold, we would have run out of things to look at.
