Blue Boy

Type:
shipwreck, dry-dock barge
Depth:

I don't know the reason for this offshore barge's name, other than it might well be the real one. Nevertheless, this wood barge, sometimes called a drydock lies in 120+ of water and is usually a very good lobster dive, albeit a deeper one. Bottom visibility is often cloudy to poor. It's not the best bottom conditions here, but a careful and advanced certified diver can bring home a lot of lobsters for dinner with a dive here. This spot isn't frequently dived.

The New York Bight

In the last few weeks I have re-written pretty much the entire WordPress plugin that generates the charts. In addition, I created a new chart style that is truly marine, with color depth contours and boundaries, in place of the old one that was basically just a stripped-down land map. The result is much more useful, and, I think, quite beautiful, with a lot of transparency effects.

All the charts now have secondary styles, generally road maps or satellite imagery, whatever is most appropriate. The alternate style for this chart is the full undersea rendering. Mine is stripped-down to focus on the shallows and run faster. Be warned: you can bog-down or even hang your computer messing around here!
