VK113, Barataria Bay, & FH-10 with Luke & Anthony© Photos Posted by Mark Miller © Hi-Res Source
This was a trip to retrieve the USM Water Quality Recorder in FH-10 for USM. The air temp was in the mid-30's and the water temp was in the mid-50's. So we went out for some fun first. We made a dive on Platform VK-133 out in 102 feet of water where the temp was around 71°F. Then we came in to the Barataria Bay Pogie Boat where the water was around 68°F. Then we caught and released some red snapper around FH-13 before heading to FH-10 for our job. By then the water warmed a little to 58°F. Luke got the job done and we headed home. The trip encompassed 85 miles, 39 gallons of fuel, and 8.5 hours.
