Sorry gang for that last post. Believe it or not my cat sent it when it
stepped on the keyboard.
 
Dan, That's the real tragedy isn't it. At least here in Oregon they advised us
not to collect any clams for a while (whatever awhile is). As for the
insurance companies, this ship was insured for $30,000,000. The ship itself
was $11,000,000 and what they've done so far has eaten up the rest. In order
to dispose of the ship they will have to dismantle it with torches right where
it sits and remove it piece by piece. I wonder who will get to pay for that?
Oh well, I didn't know what to do with a kicker check from the state anyway.
