Back to diving,
Had the privilege to meet David Moore who will be doing a talk tonight at the Sturgeon Bay maritime museum in Sturgeon Bay,
he is the head marine archaeologist on the QAR Black Beards WAR SHIP! Queen Ann's Revenge,a dive was planed by his friend in Door county Jon Paul Van Harpen  noted author  and writer and ship wreck historian off MY BOAT!
  The dive was to be several sites in Baileys harbor due to Davids not use to the cold waters, we headed out as the SE winds pounded in,as Jon and David talked I hit the water to find 1' max vis as I hit the deck, I crawled a bit on the bottom and then hit the surface to tell David not to splash due to the poor conditions,we hit the harbor and did look at several site plans of the wrecks located in the harbor,

All in all it was cool to have the  old friends talk about all the sites they dove years back in the Keys to the history on the QAR and if you get a chance check out the Maritime museums in Door County,The Sturgeon Bay one has the Pirates exhibit and my youngest son has seen it built over the winter and its opening in spring this year and actually got to fire a real deck cannon several times a real one anti personal type on display at the museum , wish I could of!
Dive safe Girls,
