Wow that is an interesting story. I can't believe you haven't dove her yet. She is located right next to the Sheridan and another wreck in the area.

Sheridan, Blackthorn and the seafood barge are close to each other.

Now I hadn't heard of a name for that, good stuff to know. It is really good (pun not intended). We actually had no clue what we were diving when we did it but I sure liked it.

I keep the boat at my house on a trailer and my favorite dive, is the dive I'm on at the time.
 
Clever...I like that line..Ha ha..How many anchors have u ever pulled up at the tanks..Its funny..I have been there 5 times now and have seen no anchor..Even the barge that is just due north of there..
 
One of those anchors is mine. I went out there one time on my boat in 3-5 ft. seas and anchored up. We called the dive due to everyone getting sick from the rough water. I went to pull the anchor and couldn't get it up. Now I should have jumped in and got it but instead like a total dumb ***** i just cut the line. I'm still kicking myself for it. It was a good anchor. About a 20lb. navy style. It held the boat well. A little too well.
 
I'm gonna try to run my boat back out there in the next month or so. Maybe I will get lucky and find a replacement for the one I lost.
