Are yall really all that surprised that an 8 lb object will float? My boat weighs a few hundred lbs and it floats #-o


good point! there is a ghost fleet of concrete ships that are in the chesapeak bay. from WWII



When I was much, much younger (like 12) I spent many a summer playing around those ships catching varied sea critters!

They are awesome

There is also the SS Atlantis off Cape May - not as impressive but a good spot for flounder all the same

On a related note - my reef building efforts continued after this 1st post and I have several working now.


The original "bowling ball" reef built in Apr 18, 2008 is mostly gone, and I might rebuild it this spring
