This weekend’s rundown sponsored by Banditos We are gliding through the summer, and find ourselves already in mid-July.

This weekend’s rundown sponsored by Rocky Point Divers Let’s admit it, as we dab the sweat beads off our brow, summer humidity has crept into town while the temperatures continue to work their way up.
