Date July 28 1999

Time 11:10 Local Geenland time

Location Aboard the Kissavik, tied to the Ocean Wrestler

The day started at early with high hopes of making a discovery quickly. The good news is that we have done a great deal of work today eliminating possible locations. Needless to say, we have not yet found the Sooner. Paul Blaida assists us with his recollections of the area to try and pin point the search areas. 0728-8.jpg (34409 bytes) The crew then deploys the side scan sonar we all affectionately call the "Fish". Anarea is searched, nothing is found and we are back to the maps to consider the next search box parameters.       This has been our day from 7am to 10:30pm. We are not discouraged, and have 3 areas planned to cover tomorrow. The main challenge has been the ice, and the local native folklore that has directed to several areas that have turned up nothing. Tomorrow we concentrate on Paul's memory after locating an abandoned church that he remembers visiting after the crash. Everyone is safe and expects that success is just around the corner. More to follow...................
