Captain Billy, I have every confidence in you. I always have. But I also know that you are gaining your experience as you go. I also feel the game plan has changed here. You have to understand me. I am a thinker. I do have brilliant ideas and a brilliant mind. (I am not conceded) Sometimes I just know things. I have had to deal with this all of my life. It was difficult as a child to get adults to understand that they were wrong. I feel I am in the same situation here. I have tried to be very professional in my wording of how I see things going down and I have tried not to jump to conclusions and ask you all instead. If you read back through my 2000 some posts you will see that I have always been the HISTORY buff. And yes, I watch too many archaeological shows. But, that does not impede my knowledge of archaeological preservation. And if I come dive with you and I saw divers pillaging through something I thought should be left untouched, I may get livid and you would have to restrain me, LOL
I would LOVE nothing more than to be there with you guys. And, if you remember correctly when everyone was downing this site and calling the artifacts junk, I was the one screaming from the sidelines here about the fantastic opportunity to uncover a piece of history. I was the one sitting here defending all of your efforts down there. I am still defending you on this. It's just that the game plan seems to have changed from ravaging a sunken ship and artifacts to "Lets get the French involved" Then my mind went back to the memory of "there are so many artifacts we are putting them in piles" Then my gut ached at the thought that we could have missed an important part of what really happened down there because of this. Did anyone ever think that I might be afraid of embarrassment for our divers and crew? I picture myself being right there with you. I always have. Getting another country involved and it was their ship of war......
Hey, I have the right to ask questions. I might follow you around all day. You might get sick of me down there.
Everything I post is just my humble opinion. Do your own DD.
