Notes:

I had been on the Gaskin last year with Jason and Sylvain; tonight, Kim and I were both unbuddied when our respective buddies had to bow out because of colds. It was a shame for them, the visibility was pretty good, the wreck was alive with abundant fish (including a couple large pickerel and a pike or two). The ship permits easy penetration, and we swam through the stern after once around.

Kim and I held out for 39 minutes on the wreck, rising last to bring up Chris Columbus' line beacon.
