    Went to Crystal River with friends. We launched out of Fort Island all three days. We stayed in the cottages at Crystal Isles RV Resort. They have remolded them and they are very nice. We got about 6 gallons the first two days and 5 gallons the last day. It was our most successful trips. The last 3 years were plaqued with boat issues and rain. It was a great time staring at the grass.

    Good job on the trip and the scallop haul. How many people went with you and just curious how long you snorkeled each day? I tried to do a quick video to show the boats out there but it'll take lot of editing before posting.

    There were four of us. We were out at least 6 hours each day. There were not as many boats during the week as last year.

    There was no one at the ramp offering to clean. Maybe during the weekend there is.
