Good Reading

Just finished "Shadow Divers" last night. It was a wonderful book. While it was about the discovery of a German U boat off the New York/New Jersy coast (happened while I was diving with GSU and I heard one of the divers speak at the Boston Sea Rovers Suba Conference), it made for a lot of self searching and "condem"plation. It has inspired me to think, just think about putting some thoughts of a demented and failing mind to paper. The name of the boat used to travel to and from the U-boat, which was in 230+ feet of water, was Seeker. The name of the paper with my ramblings may well be: Seeking: the remblings of a demented and failing mind - what's true and what's not. Now I seem to be slipping is this some kinda nostalgia. Last blog sappy and this one with this sort of garbage. I think I need a good deep dive; say to the U856 or maybe with Billy Young in one of the north Florida caves to get me back into living. One thing about the book that impressed me was the comaraderie and dedication to purpose.

Enough, enough of this b....

Those dives would require you to come to the East coast of UNITED STATES! I don't know why your posts aren't showing up on my blog...wierd
