Ray, good job on the video, your chronical on the ravages of the sea on a wreck is a unique perspective. Also the evolution of the gear configurations was worth noting. We got a pretty good laugh of the guy with the 140cuft Dolphin "stage" cylinder lowering it to the wreck with a lift bag... He could have decoed for a week on that thing.
