Subject: Moorings on the "Wisconsin"

This morning Chris Hartwig, Bill Stupp, Dave Manchester and I replaced two
moorings on the wreck, Wisconsin.  We put one on the bow and one amidships to
port.  Each consists of a 5/8" poly line with eye-spliced thimble chained to
the wreck extending to within about 15 feet of the surface, buoyed with a
five-gallon plastic drum.  To the buoyed end of the poly line is tied a 5/8"
nylon pick-up line with the bitter end buoyed with a pair of one gallon
detergent bottles.

We had good weather today.  The waves were one to three feet.  Underwater
visibility was about 10 feet.  Water temperature was a balmy 39 deg F.  

Next weekend we will be at the Our World Underwater show.  See you there.

Good diving,
Dale
