Sailboat strapped to trailer

Found this about 10 days ago. Dove it with Senter Cove Guy.

I did not stop the scan to take other runs at it (requiring I re-set scan parameters among other adjustments) for better sonar images after putting a flag right on it because I was in the middle of a long scan and did not want to break the continuity of the scan pattern ("mowing the lawn") that badly. I will go for better images at a later date.

Clearly the boat, about 20 feet long, is still on the trailer. Bow numbers still there; Green reg sticker is dated 1999.

Pitch black at 46' feet; Water temp 48 degrees. Deep silt bottom.

Gives you some appreciation of conditions divers encountered when floating the plane that crashed recently in the Broads. Dark, cold, lousy visibility. No surprises there.

I have some theories as to how it ended up 1/4 mile offshore still tied down but likely will never know for sure of course.

I lost video resolution during editing and file compression but it's still a good view.
