Don't I know it. Me and mine could always hold our own but the worst and longest lasting hangover I (we) ever had was after a full 24 hours of drinking gin and tonics in Gibraltar with some of our buddies there and let me tell ya....you ain't kidding man. Started at 12 in the afternoon, still hung over from the previous night, ran into those guys.....back to drinking......g&t s all day.......and harassing all passers by. ......I and a teammate took a break at 8pm to shower and drink some water.....back out at 9 and linked back up with our British buddies (who never bothered to leave the bar) and proceeded to do shots....more g& t s and Guiness....... finished up and back home at 12 the next afternoon. Most of the day/night was pretty hazy as you can imagine! I do know I never got sick but I sure as hell wished I did when I finally woke up!

Its quite tricky holding a detector, a scoop AND a Pina Colada.....

Just now catching up on the post. I take it you've figured out the balance between "swing, scoop and slurp" amazing how much athletic ability that takes. I'd have to say that is what tires me out the most. Damn piña coladas are heavy!! KeepNitReale

As you all may have noticed, I have not participated very much lately in the discussions in this Thread and felt it best to advise everyone the reason behind this! First, I had spent way too much time in a short period reading and making posts in this Thread and another Thread which I had participated quite often in and became somewhat burnt out. And second, my' mind has been elsewhere as my' middle sister, Frances who is 70 years old, is dying from congestive heart failure and renal failure. She has had a lot of health problems ever since having the Flu last Winter and then coming down with Pneumonia this Spring. After being released from the hospital in May, she fell and fractured a disk in her' spine and was in a lot of pain. Although she was seeing a Doctor every week, they failed to find the spinal fracture and my sister's pain got worse and worse. As a result she became very inactive, staying in bed much of the time which caused excess fluid to build up in her' body and especially around her' heart. She was again taken to the hospital, where after a little over two weeks, they were finally able to get the excessive fluids out of her' body her' and her' kidneys working again but she had suffered quite a bit of heart damage. While in the hospital, the Doctors operated on her' spine to fuse the fractured spinal disk but we can't understand why since they apparently knew that she was going to die! She came home about a week ago and within 4 days, she was back in congestive heart failure and renal failure again but this time, they are worse than before with no way to reverse them. She began the death rattle this morning and after an appoinment with my' Doctor this morning, I spent most of the day with her and family members at her' home. While she is still holding on, there is nothing that can be done and will likely pass in the next day or so. I hate to ask but if you can, please pray for her that she will pass with ease and that she will soon be our Lord, our' parents and our older sister, Shirley, who passed in 2011.

Once we have had time to grieve and things have gotten a little more back to normal, I am sure that you will find me posting many, many more times on the forums here. In the meantime, I will check back from time to time and post if I can.

Thank you in advance for your understanding, your thoughts and your prayers!

I too have had a rough year. In April, my grandmother passed. She was the closest thing to a living saint you'll ever meet. In June, her youngest son and my uncle passed from a 3 year battle with cancer, he was 50 and just on Monday, her second youngest son and my uncle passed from a battle of kidney and liver disease, he was 52. They were everything to me almost like older brothers and a second mother as I myself am 45. All we can do is hold on to the things they have taught us about family and duty as this family has always dug in and supported each other. Good luck to you my friend and deepest sympathies. God Speed

Damn, it looks like you may just found more questions than answers. Am I seeing the dates correctly? 1802 on these and 1762 on your first clump? That's a broad leap for a Spanish galleon. You may have found some pirate booty

Well my friend, I wish you all the luck in solving this riddle. You could be on the cusp of making history. Enjoy it and do your best to not let it consume you. Life is a journey not a destination. Have fun and keep us posted.

Way to go Captain! To have possibly found a shipwrecked Pirate Ship could be more rewarding than finding a Spanish Galleon! Of course it could be another foreign Country's ship that took a payoff from Spain for services rendered and they were on their way home when they ran into a hurricane. If it is a Pirate or other foreign Country's ship, at least you won't have to worry about Spain trying to claim the booty!
