The mooring buoy and diver ball are on the U-1105 for the 2001 season, thanks to Dawn, Isabel, Efrain, Dan, Mike, and Bill.

During the last week of April we will will continue work at Nomini and Colonial Beach, dive the U-1105 on Saturday the 30th to recover a lift bag and some mushroom anchors we left on the site, and haul Roper on Sunday the 1st of May to start two weeks of engine and hull work.

The plan is to launch her on 12 May, have sea trials on Friday the 13th (ha!), go to the Eastern Shore on Saturday 14 May for two weeks of work for the Maryland Historical Trust, come back to Tall Timbers on Friday 27 May, fuel and provision her on Saturday, and start for St. Augustine on Sunday or Monday.
