Deep Blue Marine (DPBE)

[Capt Billy]

I would like to thank everybody who wished me well on my operation.
They said it was a low grade of cancer and if i keep a close eye on it we should be able to
Keep it under control. The investors meeting was a riot. There must have been forty people there. I sure had a good time, I don’t think you need more than a seventh grade education to know why we cant post pictures or discuss the operations in the DR. I wrote that little story on deep blues blog and had six emails from people in the DR saying I was to harsh about describing my time there. So yep people in the DR do have computers. And yes the shrimp boat is still a go and I couldn’t be more excited about it.
For so many reasons that I don’t dare try and explain them all with my two finger typing ability. I wish we were leaving right now. But as Capt. Tracy explained to us that the DR government closes down middle dec. to the 5th of jan. So if we didn’t get there by the 14th of dec. we would be waiting three weeks to do anything. And here in Key West we will be doing a mag and subbotom profiling survey here next week and I am looking forward to that, there is just a lot of unanswered questions I have and will be able to put some of them to bed. The man that’s doing the survey is Rick Horgan. And imo he is the best. We are still diving on some of his data that he gave us three years ago. And that was just from a three day survey. I believe we will be bringing the new boat here this week and will have plenty to do on her to get ready for the DR in Jan. Like building a ladder to get in and out of the water, we have to mount the air compressor for the airlift and filling the dive tanks, And not even Christmas day is going to stop me from getting this boat ready. So I will be in the DR with a steel hull trawler eighty feet on the waterline and yep Capt Billy at the helm. With some of the most prime hunting grounds in the Caribbean. And with a man as Great as Tracy Bowden leading the charge. So all you couch captains eat your hearts out

oh crap i lied i only use one finger to type
