0727-5.jpg (21527 bytes)After three days of constant movement and travel, we are now settling down to the slow and methodical stage of the search. Divers have been searching the area that locals claim the airplane may have been while the Ocean Wrestler and the sonar crew have been running a search pattern on the other side of the island that the crew claimed to have dropped their survival gear. As of Tuesday evening, nothing can be concluded. The rest of the participants have been observing or just plain0727-6.jpg (28953 bytes) waiting! Waiting is the tough part. Divers report the water is RFC (real F.......g cold).   The weather appears to be getting a little better, but still occasional drizzle. There is nothing to do now but watch the pros do their thing. Sonar operators report all equipment is working well. Ice continues to drift into and out the area. Maybe tomorrow..............

Back to home....
