Thanks goes out to all the boat captains for volunteering their boats for the day: Wayne Plumb and the Ashley Dawn, Big Jim and the Vickie Marie, Harold and the Seaducer, Walter and Spike Jr. , Wayne Gay and Surface Interval and Steve F. and The Lyn Lee.
Thanks to Ken Fuller (President od the Great lakes Ubderwater Explorers Club)for his great BBQ cooking skills and Anna , Mae and Cliff for their help with the food. I would also like to thank Tom R. for his great organizational skills which enabled all the divers to find their spot on a boat . We all had a great day of diving , Thanks to all !!!
Now lets all get out diving these awewsome wrecks ...they are ready and waiting....

I just got back from Day 2 of the Mooring Day, and in addition to Knives comments we like to thank Mike Ryan and his friends from Rockport also. As for today the Ashley-Dawn and Seaducer placed a mooring on John's Run which comprises of 2 scuttled wrecks in the Wolfe Island Graveyard believed to be the Hattie Hutt and Sanor. Also the Comet was raised as it apparently moved on Walter this winter . The President of POW (Wayne Plumb) commented that it was a great weekend.

Thanks to everyone that assisted.

To everyone that helped, Thanks so much.

We all had a great time and the food was great. Ken was a great chef and I ate too much.

All told at the end of the weekend we had 15 dive sites up and ready for the season. We found that 2 of the lines need replacing, the Douglas and the Titanic, so I guess I have more splicing to do
I hope to have the few still down, up before the end of the long weekend.

Again you guys are great and it's good to see dive people from all over stand up and be counted on for help.

To all of those volenteers that helped make this years POW Mooring Day a great success I say thanks and hope to see you next year.

A special thanks to the GLUE Club (Global Underwater Explorers) for sponsoring the BBQ on Saturday after the event. A special thanks goes to the great cook Ken Fuller ( president of the GLUE Club) who kept all fed, to Ann Campbell for doing all those little things behind the sceens making arrangements for the food etc. If it were not for the organizational skills of Tom R it could have been a very rough day.(pardon the pun)

To Mae Squires,Cliff Rowe,Ann Campbell and others thank you for the salads and deserts it was just the right touch to a very good meal that made it great. To all of the divers (to many to list here as I think I would run out of space) that attended thank you for the assistance in raising the lines and we hope to see you next year.

Last but not least to all of the dive charter operators with out whom this event could not have taken place, they donated of their time and equipment to make this a suuccessful Mooring Day 2004.
