Davey and I went to millbrook for the chilly willy dive. It was cold when we got there at 10:30{24degrees}. But we had a propane heater in the shed, and that made it very comfortable to change. There were more people there than I thought there would be, about 15. The water was cold{42degrees}. We dove to the platform at beach2 then down to the airplane{76'}. Unfortunately someone had arrived there before us and were still there. One of the divers was very good, but the other was having bouyancy issues, he was rototilling the bottom reducing the vis to about 1'. I had to do widening circles to find the line to the winnebago. When I found it we started to follow it, only to discover that the others had followed this line also. the vis along most of the line was 1-2'. Normally this time of year the vis is 20'-25'. It was quite cold at 86'. From there we made our way back to the platform and did our safety stop. When we got out the temperature had risen dramatically, sun was shining, no wind. It was a beautiful day. We talked with Geof, and Elliot, from The Dive Shop, and headed home.
