Went for a little virtual sail today and came across a creepy rust-bucket resting on the bottom. :worried:

I had a sinking feeling when I saw the title and now I know that you've reached rock bottom, Brian :lol:

:lol: :lol: And rock bottom seems to be a long way down in this part of the Channel. :doh: Oh, I liked the Mary Deare so much I decided to raise her. Just had to open one of the cargo hatches to let the water out. :agree: ;)

Brian, sail on to Giglio - they're estimating 1 year of salvage work on the Costa Concordia.
And if you'd make it steam right away like Mary Deare - Costa would surely pay you a bonus...

Cheers, ;)
