Excellent article - and to think that I've actually been diving and snorkeling in the area (long before I began to have an interest in TH'ing!)

Pris - you may just get to see some actual pirate booty!

Anne,
thanks for the story. I wonder how many people over the years came within a foot of the infamous ship and didn't know it!?!

Nice article. I know two missionary familes who live in the DR. They have hooked me up with some nice pieces amber in the past. However, after reading that article, I have a strong desire to go visit them...
