Been off the boards for a while, Just busy I spose, took an hour or more to catch up with all thats going on in Idaho!
Not to much going on here in my neck of the woods. Had one recovery last month, an elderly man whose life jackets made it home before he did. We responded and made a few pointless dives, we had no last seen point and he had not been heard from for three plus hours. But yesterday he was fishing over there and fishing was good so he woulda been there again...... He was found two days later. Somehow he lost an anchor before his demise, it had 24ft or so of polypropylene rope on it, which floats and presented itself as a line of fish that went all the way to the bottom to a family friend who was out looiking. We went out with the uw cam and located him within an hour.
On a lighter not.. we got an awesome donation bout 4 days ago. a Scat hovercraft with about 25 hours on it, been in storage for years (old farmer toy) the guy that owned it passed on a few years back. His wife wanted to get rid of it so.... Will be a great tool with a few mods and a paint job! here is the model we have http://www.scat.com.sg/index2.html I'll post some pics when I get some!
Rocoverd a $50,000 boat Sunday, The guy just had the manufacturer install a swim platform and well it leaked, alot :11: but it was insured and we just so happen to be able to charge for such "conveniences" being volunteer and all its one way me maintain a budget, b ut anyway boy oh boy that was a nice boat!
