This is not to be difficult, but the walls are black, the vis is never
good, and this will be our first dive under the new argreements with St.
Joe.
Let me rimind all of you that St. Joe has never dealt with anyone before
this, not even the Government. In today's risk averse enviromment, the
fact that we can get a huge company like this which is the largest
private landowner in Florida to give us access to their properties falls
under the simple category of having the absolute best track record in
the game ever.
Let's keep it that way. We are not only going to have to be vigilant
ourselves, but will have to aggressively disassociate ourselves from the
fiasco and cluster that is now going on at Wakulla Springs, which I
expect to blow up at any time, and which represents the exact opposite
of everything we believe in and stand for, from the presence of
untrained divers to the blatent disrepect for and abuse of the Park and
the people who run it, as well as the cavalier attitude taken regarding
this, and the constant exaggeration, false claims, misdirection,
inuendo, and obvious grandiose display of wasted money combined wtih the
Wizzard of Oz Syndrome.
Despite what is going on at Wakulla, we will conintue to play by our
rules, and we will continue to do it right and have respect for the
resources and those who own them. We will also continue to operate under
our "certification" of all of you which simply guarantees that whatever
we have you doing, you are qualified to do it. Nobody else can isssue a
"card" like that but the WKPP.
We will put safeties in, and if the weather holds we will explore from
both ends, as well as the downstream, and stage the swimthrough when we
can accumulate the proper amount of mendia attention to the fact that
these caves in two counties are apparently over 2 1/2 miles apart, but
have a giant conduit connecting them. If the weather does not hold, well
we won't be needing the safeties anywhere else anyway.
Thre is a ton of cave to explore here - Gavin and I found and marked
most of it six years ago when we were seeking the connection. I can send
teams right to the spots, and there are tunnels anywhere from 1000 feet
to 9000 feet in that I think will prove to be a complete system that
weaves in and out.
Let's T it up.
