Subject: re: Why No Sally Ward "Exploration" of Mapping?

   Mr. X, the reason is simple: there is no glory in Sally Ward. The
downstream only goes a short distance, as Doug Hand's mother can tell
you. The "objective" of connecting Sally to Wakulla was only extra
promises to get these guys a permit. The connection, if any, would
actually be from the downstream of the new upstream - a hard place to
get to . The rebreathers will not fit through the upstream restrictions
in either of the two tunnels that go to the back, so it must be done on
open circuit.

   Despite the baloney about Brain Kikak being a big time sidemount
diver, this only applies to Bahamian deep air diving in caves that go
noplace. In this guy's physical condition, my bet is that his breathing
rate is so horrific that he could not get to the Hinkle without a
rebreather. The back of Sally is for real divers, not the Heinerths and
the Kakoks. By the way, Gavin , Casey and I put that one in on a double
stage and Rat filmed it, in case they ever want to know how to do the
dive . The tape is called "Sally Ward", and it is marked "Parental
Guidence", not becuase it might get these weenies bagged, but because of
Kelly McKinlay's filming of JJ and I putting on drysuits. 

     The only thing they did in there was "locate" the Cube Room, which
we did a long time ago to correct their first lame survey, and take the
"mapper" to the Cube Room to film it - more hype and hoopla.

     Despite the fact that Jim King, whose cash fueled this fiasco, did
not get to dive in Wakulla, he still has been further in Sally Ward than
his hired strokes. For a few more bucks they coold have had Mrs. Hand do
the job for them.

     By the way, I have a message from the two Kamikaze Brits - they
want to come back and learn how to do it right. Seems things were not
quite as reported by the usdct ( stands for Unprecedented Strokery,
Decepetion, Carelessness and Tragedy ) webmaster, one Ms. Am Ende. Also,
the other dissapointed player in that game, Matt Mathes, wants to join
us in Merida for the same reason. Mike Madden phoned me to relay that
request. I told both they have to talk to you guys, all I do now is pull
the trigger and breathe in this project. General Kernagis, or the Gas
Divers need to make these kinds of calls. I am not fooling with anyone
who has not been on board with me all along. I  want to stay alive.  I
don't teach diving, I pass on fine points to guys who are already pros.

 Chris Werner will be the new map guy , by the way. I am out of the
mapping business as well. Do it perfectly and get screwed, time for
somebody else to be insulted by idiots.
