I have another boat ideal that can make money...picking up old growth lumber from the bottoms on the 1800's logging rivers in Alaska and the PNW...But the initial investment brick wall is there. Joe- Hide quoted text - Oh,,,,, been there alsmost done that. As an ex GOM diver I got out of dive school 1980. By 1981 there was talk about Underwater Loging in the Great Lakes. IN fact Wooden Boat Magizine had an article about the 100+ yo wood from an underwater logger in 1982-83. Somebody in Oregon's lower Columbia river was going to do the underwater logging a couple years ago but started to run into EPA salmon habitat problems. Actually pretty easy work. All it takes is a bubble headed choker setter, a barge, and a couple air tuggers. Years ago sitting on 180' Tidewater OSV a bunch of us thought of leasing a derilect small rig and use it for whoreing, gambling, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, and other debaucheries. Sorta of an offshore Reno for the different GOM crews, charter boats and, wanna be bayou pirates. Just get one outside state waters. Im sure youve heard the old stories about bringing whores offshore. Juts have a "crewboat" tie up or have an old rivet rattling helo stop in. Bob |

Ben Franklin said "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." Close, but he said it a little more powerfully: They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. http://www.bartleby.com/100/245.1.html -- Jere Lull Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
