Boat Sinking?????

Island Girl · 09-20-2007, 10:53 AM

Just sittin' out here ... there is about 160' of water under me and my laptop is getting low on battery.. Environmental services arrived about 15 minutes ago. I have been chatting with Marine Patrol. The original plan was to have it up by noon... Since they are all just sitting around talking... I am not sure what will happen.. There is at least one diver down.. he came up for a while, then went back down.

I will try to keep you posted... just losing battery... and did not bring the AC-DC converter.

I'm hoping that in addition to your laptop you also have with you a camara...
Too bad about losing power...a play by play would have neat.
Sorry I missed this event by one day.

My laptop survived.. only one battery was going down... I am back at the ranch charging, getting lunch, and will try to upload some picture.. that could take a bit... not really much to see. The larger of the two SeaTow boats has left the scene... on board is a diver in a dry suit... I did not see him come up... so don't know if he had been down there... definitely going to be a while... They said that there would be no more dives for an hour... (about half an hour ago).

Update: 1:43 PM... the SEaTow boat is back and are working again. Here is a picture taken this morning.

Thanks for the updates IG.It looks like those might be the float bags on the bow of the boat.

Am I right to say this activity is taking place on the North East side of the island, toward the eastern most part of the island?
Islandgirl...GREAT JOB! What a day to out on the water. And being up at Rattlesnake in the middle of the work week....life must be good.
I'll be out that way in the AM. Probably my last boat trip of the year.
Thanks for all the updates...
