The first crew to arrive for the Florida Sea Base 2012 summer season, a Scuba Liveaboard crew from the Boston, Massachusetts area, checked in yesterday afternoon.  Divemaster Kevin Schmidt was assigned to the first crew.  The crew will be aboard S/V Silent Harmony with Captain Mike Lucivero and S/V Endeavour with Captain Kelly Stickney-Lucivero.  Office Manager Sue Mahoney survived her first crew check-in.  Another Scuba Liveaboard crew will arrive today.  On Sunday,  Sue will be SLAMMED by a full compliment of crew arrivals.

Invest 94L has made it all the way to the Carolina coast and has intensified to become Subtropical Storm Beryl.  Our marine forecast looks pretty good for the next several days.
