Sat. April 4th, 2015, a few of us team members (Eric Albrecht, Gary Cochran, John and I) came together to make sure that the bottoms of the glass bottom boats were sparkling clean of algae for the Easter visitors to Silver Springs State Park, whereby they could easily see the bottom of this lovely spring.

I will post a few pics in the near future, showing how disorienting it really is to be upside down under a boat while looking at a reflection, and scrubbing. We all had to deal with hyperventilation, vertigo, a nauseous feeling, and for safety’s sake, the need to surface for a minute or so, to regain our internal balance and bearings.
