Bobadilla! The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful! Uh, I mean, the weather is beautiful, I wish you were here!
Christopher just called and said they had perfect conditions out there and tomorrow they swear they will have a huge hole all the way down to bedrock so we have an excellent chance of finding something tomorrow...WHOOHOO!
I indeed got the research from Paris you sent on the buttons from Napoleon's ship and that is incredibly great news! 125,000 one ounce Louis the XV gold coins just waiting for us! Louis D'or...the stuff that dreams are made of...
We now have wrecks that are almost 100 miles apart and a pirate ship in between and we are working out of pinchy little 30 ft plastic boats with home-made equipment but we are going to do this if it kills us all! (Well, not kill, but you know what I mean.) If it wasn't so frustrating I would be laughing at the shear insanity of it all! I hope Rick can up our budget from some of these investors he is meeting with and get us working on several sites at once...24 hours a day. Of course if we find a couple gold coins with the right date tomorrow, all offers will be immediately pulled...why give away a huge chunk of treasure when we can just go to any bank for funding with gold coins as collateral? There will be a few people smacking their foreheads on that one huh? How many people have told us they "almost" invested in Mel Fisher? TOO late to invest AFTER he found it...DOH!
The La Viete should be worth around $300 million to $600 million I bet all told and add that to the other 5 sites that should be worth $750 million all told and that is...DANG! My calculator just burst into flames! I can't even say that number...that's insane! WOW! I'll just stick with "a lot"!
Can you come up this weekend and dive and you and I can work on your "project" some more? (Which is going to take this forum by storm when everyone hears it by the way! It is one great idea you have had my friend and I am honored to be a part of it and able to help. Sheer genius and it will be WAY too much fun for anyone that participates in it...once again, the stuff that dreams are made of!)
Let me know my friend! (I have read your book several times now and almost every night I read the chapter on our pirate ship and the pirate Cofresi just before I go to sleep and have the best dreams of being a pirate and living the life! Great book! I can't wait to bring the "Black Eagle" up my friend and see what's on her and hold something from her in my hand!)
Goldust, Once again thank you for your offers of help, the links you have sent me and all of your encouragement and best wishes! I should know soon if either we A. Got the funding or B. We found something that will change everything and I will post a PM to you before I post on here to give you the heads up! Thanks again!
Where did you go Seahunter? We were flying on the PM's and you suddenly disappeared? Did you get my last one? You OK? You having way too much fun?
WOW! Let's see what tomorrow brings!
