First time I was down there, the Spiegal Gove flipped upside down.

Second time I was down there was this last weekend, and it flips again.

I hear that they found residue of puke under the hull for lubricant, they are doing DNA testing and found it was of Cuban origin, do you know anything about that Andy? :l: I believe Jenny has an incriminating photo if the authorities continue their search.

 

[H2Andy]

yeah well, the alleged hurling took place on the Bentwood, so i'm afraid you've got
the wrong Cuban DNA there, my friend

huh? how'd it change depth unless it moved drastically.???????

We did verify last week that the sand there was 130ft.

Upon further investigation of the recent storm in the Florida Keys, it has been learned that the Bibb and the Duane both suffered unexplained damages.

The Duane fell over on to her Port side while the Bibb is now upright.

The A. Bush is another mystery. She was seen tied up to a dock in Marathon loading Key Limes to replenish the stock reported to have been depleted on the Titanic. The lack of limes has caused some serious problems for the crew and passengers of the Titanic. Having plenty of ice and Tequila they had a full speed mishap trying to locate limes.

In my opinion, no matter which way the Spiegel rests on the bottom the fish will love it. The Spiegel will benefit the marine habitat off Key Largo, it is just a matter of how much.... Stay tuned pics coming soon!!

I just got back from diving the SG. it is definitely upright. I went down on a subsurface buoy that is tied to the port side crane. I went forward to the port side gun turret. I peered down the hallway on the (01) deck just forward to the gun turret. The safety line that was put there by the project crew is still there. There was still a lot of fish on the wreck and in the water column above. The gun turret is now at 75 ft. My max depth was 86 ft. It is a deeper dive now! It will be harder to get out of the current when it is running. Today the current was less the 1 knot.

Unfortunately today the vis was very poor on the descent it was < 20 ft, at 85 ft is around 30 ft...

I will edit the video and pick out some still frame to post on my website about the SG...

Hurricane Emily may have something to say about you diving the SG on Saturday. Emily is supposed to be between Cuba and Jamaica Saturday in the am. I am not sure if Emily will effect Key Largo weather on Sat am....
