Hello all,

 

  Greetings from the Tarr family!  We are still chilling out here in sunny

Florida and loving every minute of it.  Unfortunately the only diving I've

been doing lately is cleaning the hull of my boat while she sits in my boat

slip.  I picked up a new "dive thing" lately though.  Me and my son have

been spearfishing in the river (saltwater) and tearing up the sheepshead and

mangrove snapper.  We started out diving with tanks but now we just snorkel

in the shallows. It's not coral reefs but it fills the freezer.

  I am sure you have heard, but in case you didn't, the ship with your

base's namesake is underwater here.  The "Hoyt S Vandenberg" was sunk as an

artificial reef.  I haven't dove it but hear good things about the dive.

One thing is for sure, she's huge!  You can read about it at:

   Take care,
