Mike, thanks for posting this thread. I had some trouble signing on before and gave up in frustration. I couldn't read the dang letters that are all scrambled. I must need stronger glasses.

Anyway, Mike and Dave, quit being so modest. You guys are at the very top in your respective fields...documenting wrecks and catching lobsters. I chose the very best!

I'm happy to hear so much positive feedback. We've worked real hard to make it a fun, high-quality event. I'm real excited about the variety this next time too. Hope to see some of you there! We have some fun surprises planned.
