Well Mike the forward section bulk head is now broken down opening into the forward compartment.
I have not investigated it yet but it is on the plan this weekend.

If Rick will let me break away from training, I'll bring my video camera and lights and we can record it.

Well Mike the forward section bulk head is now broken down opening into the forward compartment.
I have not investigated it yet but it is on the plan this weekend.
It looks as though the wreck has settled quite a bit from what it was last year.
It is saddening to realize that in a few years it could be a debris field from deterioration.

I guess we have to realize that metal wrecks do not hold up like wooden ones and I wish they did.
My camera was sacrificed to murphy last season so I am without one time being.
I could borrow my wife's camera and housing but she is reluctant due the afore mentioned incident! Er.....ah......accident that is!

The boat this season has been some of the best OW dives I have had yet to date.
You can not substitute being with dive friends and being on Lake Huron visiting wrecks.
It is what diving is about to me.
It is not cave but it is WRECK and summer means wreck season!
Beverages are cold, friends are quick to smile, and dive stories flow like rivers!
Life is good, thanks friends!

Did you see where another charter tied the mooring line mid ship? Ripping up the metal hull like an aluminum can. I am hoping this weekend we can cut that line and do a proper line on the bow off the anchor chain.

Tanks Tom I have been burning the midnight oil at work last two days.
The retail world just does not understand why we get tired and sick of to many chiefs and not enough indians!
But it keeps me in the water so I will continue to dance and roll!

Safe diving all this weekend I begin my track north this afternoon hopefully by 3:30-4pm.
Been a long week and hopefully longer weekend!

CamG Keep Diving....Keep Training....Keep Learning!
