mooring line down
We got out to the Tiller Wreck tonight and got everything ready for the Coast Guard. Our mooring line has been pulled down and secured to the bottom. The bow and stern have been marked with white jugs and light line. An orange jug has been placed about 80 feet off the port bow and is clear of any shipwreck debris for at least a 50 foot radius. This is where the Coast Guard is going to set the heavy mooring block for the survey vessel.
If anyone happens to go to the wreck tomorrow, please DO NOT use any of these jugs to tie off to - they are light line and will break.
CCGS Griffon is en route to Weller and should arrive Wednesday morning and the blocks will be going out Wednesday and Thursday to all 3 shipwrecks. She will be returning the 23rd and removing the blocks on the 23rd and 24th. We will raise our line and install a buoy shortly after that. I'll let you know when it's up.
