Not exactly what I call ideal conditions, but you could get in the water. The water was chilly, for South Florida, anyway. You could acclimate to the water temperature, but after a while you needed a break. Viz was variable, depending on the tide, with low tides being the worst. It wasn't the typical rainy Memorial Day weekend by any stretch. The full moon, however was wreaking havoc with the current and tides. Tides were extreme high and low, and slack was mostly non-existent (tides switched almost instantly). Currents were probably in the 6-8 knot range. Holding a position was near impossible to do once the tide got going in either direction.
