                      Never found the rest of it Grump, shore dove, so no GPS coordinates, I pulled what I found.
                      Speaking of pulling what's found,,,,,,Nate and John,,,, lets see that Yellowtail! I suspect that hull would be much like this one was, as Joe and I tried to lift it (once drained and out of the water) and you could hear the fiberglass snapping, she would of snapped in two had he kept lifting, necessitating her being left where she was, for later salvage, of course.
                      Thanks Shooter for updating the list! Puts me back in the game!
                      Water on Tonka (and the mystery lake) where we found and left the hull hidden in the woods, for later salvage, (as you can see from the pics), was 36 degrees,,,,Brrrrr, cold as a witch's ti,,,,,it was, haven't gotten my ice hide yet, ohhh, but I will, I was cold enough I drove home with my drysuit on! I was shriveled up and small, not large, and in charge, like I normally am, after a couple icing temp. dives.
                      Made me think, (at 54 yo) I'm getting soft, and too old for this chit, I may need to go dive in a heated shack, with John and Nate,  :-*

Good find! Was that Trinity's find or did he win "rock, paper, scissors" to mug with the fine vessel? I suppose a street address would work in this case instead of coordinates :. Nate, I will stay out of the proposed search area until you get here, but I'll keep gathering Intel this week. The proposed search area looks like a real meat-grinder though with 4'-6' waves from the North for the last four days, and four cruise ships per day passing within a couple hundred yards... it will be challenging for sure. Seas are supposed to be less volitile in a couple days. I heard today that when The Royal Caribbean first came into the Port of Nassau, it was churning up sand. They saw a need to dredge the channel deeper (115' Deeper). While dredging the harbor, they found a Brittish war plane. A person just can't tell what your gonna find on the bottom. See you when you get here 8),         John

Life's too short to be miserable and uncomfortable... but who am I to teach an old dog new tricks. ;D

[Shooter]

YellowFIN  , nice find. Thought maybe team G was tossing in the towel .

It is going to be a monumental search area, I will have the tow sled with speed up the grid search. We have always said, location, location, location. And the potential in this area is off the charts! 3 DAYS AND A WAKE UP! DIVE, DIVE,DIVE!

PS Terry,

there is nothing wrong with being comfortable when diving. It makes for a much more enjoyable time. It allows me to stay more focused on the task. Try duck taping hot packs to the small of your back(under drysuit layers  ???). Art showed me this trick, I love it! I know use this same technique with deer hunting. I get enough misery and suffering at work dealing with our weather. I get paid for that though. Nothing like drinking hot cider in the shack with grouper on the grill! Its like a sauna when you get out!

[popolarbear]

Impressive. my boys are all yelling behind me. nice find!

...I know roughly were you are

...yes i was cold this weekend also. not used to the temp yet....stef..

[Shooter]

Dive gear packed!  8)  ;D

Won't need any hotpacks  > where I'm going. If I am really lucky, I will drive the yellowfin home. I can almost taste the lobster that will be grilling on the beach of some remote island. That will be a new version of shore lunch!

DIVE, DIVE, DIVE!

[Shooter]

:'( no pictures to post of the yellowfin  :'(  2 hurricanes and not enough time. We had a blast looking though!
