Good eyes Brad
Yes that was Morgan City. No it is not the next Seahunter. Not quite big enough. Not enough draft. Less house and more work space on the first floor and a bigger second floor so six or eight guys could live on it for a couple months at a time and now we are starting to get there, but it is one of the boats that got me thinking where I wanted to go. I will post some more pictures soon of ones similar to the one to be built.

The best and most predictable weather for diving is basically May through October ands we should be up and running with a fulltime crew on at least two boats by May. Let me know when you are thinking of coming.
SH,
Discussed this with the Bossand she gives it two thumbs Up
to come down your way and do some diving on your site. We will more than likely try to make it when she has a break from her college classes. Putting her back though college, so she can get a better paying job and I can retire and spend my last days diving for treasure. Classes break is scheduled for the week of 27 May - 3 June or there abouts. I'm also hoping to bring down my dive partner of 18 years with us as he is interested in helping out too.
More to follow,

Seahunter,
Looks like you have more help than you could ever need but since I am only a couple of hours from you I would like to help in the near future for a couple of days. Our weather is pretty crappy on a regular basis up here this time of year. Just moved the fleet down to Cape Marina and plan to do some but very little work til March or so. I will keep an eye on the Noaa buoys in your area. If you see a window that you could use my help, give me a shout.
(I am pretty good with a camera, was a pro when I was in my.....early 20's).

Hi Lynn
Look forward to diving with you when the weather gets better. I also appreciate any one who can take a good picture. Not my strong point. Skip came by today to take pictures of this years finds. Here are a couple pictures. Hopefully this year we will need to take a lot of pictures, and video.
