Looking for some cannons on Crooked Island.......

[SADS 669]

Problem.....it's not a fisherman , it's a second home owner and we both snorkeled for an hour, no luck, and he's an American and got cold....bless.

My plan is to get towed around next time behind my boat. It's only a couple of football fields worth to check fully.

Maybe they have become buried by sand, and some time later they will be visible again. Be nice to have a mag-fish for times like that.

Damn Yankees, always getting cold. You can never depend on those wankers.

Jason, I am informed they are on top of the reef next to a sand bar ( just gotta find the right one)

Hopefully they will be easy to find with better viz and more time.

Maybe they're in the waitress's mother's attic?

Did that a few times. Always had that feeling of being shark bait though... LOL.

Funny you say that John, when I was looking for the cannons the day before off fortune island ( long cay) I got visited by a curious reef shark.....got the ticker ticking.

Jason the waitress says hi!

Good luck in finding them SADS! If ya need help, lemme know! I love the cold, never bothers me!

 

[SADS 669]

Doc, I might take you up on that, only cold at night where you spend most of your time so it doesn't count as being " Cold" ha ha......

Got a commission to deliver these excavator parts to Crooked island from Long Island,

Then I hope to find photograph and video the cannons I didn't find last trip......

 

[Red_desert]

Good job!

 

[SADS 669]

Found em, found em, found em........photo and video to follow.......

 

[Red_desert]

Great! What type of shipwreck do you expect them to be from?

 

[SADS 669]

Very old one I think and I reckon they were used as ballast because they are in a straight tight line.......



Sorry the idiot photographer left the red filter setting on in shallow water.....

 

[SADS 669]

Red, I plan to knock off some conglomerate off one or two so people can enjoy them, we'll have a better idea of age then

Good idea! That means you also have located the ballast pile as well.

 

[SADS 669]

No ballast, the area has been scoured by storms......there is a long debris field though

Does this look any better?

 

[Red_desert]

If that pic looks ok, to fix any more, need to right now make a record of software settings for later reference.

Hue = -38
Saturation = -71
Lightness = 0
