Re: see it while you can ---timber's from a peg and dowel built vessel are floating

I wonder why all of a sudden it is floating around. Why was it not doing this a long time ago. Seems strange.

hummm anybody read the sunday paper front page of the fla times union (jacksonville ,fla area paper) ? --- main headline story---"treasure hunter's in the area"---seems like that I am finally "stirring" up some local interest in things and certain folks are "finally" taking a "serious look" at the area around here for a change----things are starting to get "very interesting" as of late-----Ivan
