WOW! Unbelievable....



The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Erik vessel has renewed interest by some tech divers


I am getting word from some tech divers that there is a renewed interest to dive this wreak. I am also told that their is a small marker buoy tethered to the wreck to prevent the trawlers from loosing more nets. Do the locals know where the wreck is located?

Remember where I was that night. We were on Lake Mead. 4th of July weekend.

It was early evening. Was pulling my daughter on skis. When we stopped I felt the wind kick up and could see the black clouds in the distance to the West. Told her to get on the boat and we started heading back.

It went from very calm to 5-6 foot waves in about 15 mins. Have never seen anything like that in my lifetime of boating, and 10+ years on Mead. We made it 4-5 miles back to the marina, but the storm had a couple house boats up against the rocks and sank several boats.

Guess it was the same storm system that hit SF 350 miles to the South.
