Oh great wise one (that's jt) you know all and see
all.  I don't recall saying the current was
sooooooooooooooo bad, that's more jt spin.  It was
just about the same as in NC this year when you
couldn't get to your O2 because you hung it instead of
carrying it with you!  Bright, real bright!  As I
recall, you told us in your infinite wisdom, as you
puked your guts out, that you just did double your
normal 02 deco on your back gas and that gave you the
same effect. Yeah, chief, right!  Too bad you were to
sick (bent?) to do another dive that day. It was
great! But hen I'm not a "real wreck diver" so what
would I know?
