Noellag i can tell you when we were doing our own treasure hunting we knew that when the first cold front came our season was pretty much over. Then come april we would start up again. Last winter when i worked for this company we neede to keep diving through all the cold fronts and i can tell you it was a waste of time. The vizability was usually zero i hated it. I sit here where i can see the fisher boats and they dont go out much either. Why waste the time and money when you can work on the boats and get them ready for the dive season.
I know i will get hammered on this statement but we wasted a lot of time and money trying to dive last winter and we did it to keep the investors happy.
I just recieved an email from Capt. Tracy who just told me he went out and by the Scipion and had to turn around and come back because of the sea conditions he also just told me dont make any decissions based on the investors and to use my own judgement and stay safe.
I really didnt need for him to tell me that i have been on the ocean all my life and would never be "pushed" into something that goes against my instincs.
People in the sailing community know in the caribbean the trade winds come out of the southeast in the summer and the northeast in the winter. A northeast wind on the Scipion site puts very large waves on top of here and i can tell you if we were to drag our anchors or break free somehow we are just yards away from coral heads that are capable of destroying this boat and all we have accomplished.
So while i am the captain of this boat its me and only me who makes the decissions.
