I just got back from a weekend in Kingston, and we were getting that sort
of awesome visibility.  For the first time ever, I actually saw the whole
Munson from one vantage point.  I don't think the warmth ran quite that
deep; there was a decent thermocline around 45', but deco was in nice
warm water.

In a way it doesn't make sense: a few weeks ago when we were doing the
Morrell and the Dundenberg (Lake Huron, just off the Michigan "thumb"),
upstream of a lot of the civilization in the Great Lakes watershed, out
of sight of land, the viz sucked, but right at the downstream end of the
bottom lake, only about a klick offshore, we get great viz.  Those zebra
mussels must sure suck a lot of shit out of the water, because they're
the only reason I can think of for Kingston having the better viz.  Now
if the little buggers could just leave the wrecks alone, we'd have
something going.
