Very awesome. Can't wait to see it in place on the wreck. Hopefully steps like this will continue to help make the Sanilac Shores Preserve even better!

The new marker is in place, we had great dives today & lots of great camaraderie.
Thanks to all that helped complete this project.

Great Job Dave. I wish I could have been there. I know you put a lot of effort into making this happen. Also thank you and the other club members who helped out. This will make the wreck a better dive.

Jerry, we have to go back & work on the hardware of the line, one of the pins for one of the anchor shackles was loose, we tightened it up & ty-wrapped it but they need to be worked on. Also I got an inflator to put in the submerged buoy, the line was under the wrecks bow when I got there, I could not get it over the towing bit (as you can see in the pics), anyhow the line is chafing.

I have to work next week-end but I'm off the following week-end if we can wait that long. One of the problems I seen (from the pics) is the anchor point may be too low on the wreck and maybe we should move it to the highest point or at least a higher point on the wreck.

 

[Riverrat Dave]

I was thinking the same thing.
