It was beautiful trip out to the Ultra Freeze. Jody and David jumped in to find the anchor. They had a nice reef dive as they didn't make contact with the wreck. They did make contact with some kite fisherman on breaking the surface. :)

Matt, Mike and Lee has a slow descent, hit the wreck. Searched for a good 20 minutes but with no luck. Lots of anchors and rope, but none of them usable.

Jody and David made a second trip down. No luck from them either.

On the way in we had a crash course on the use of radar. We had a Bogey at close range that could not be seen until we stopped and searched without looking thru the curtains. We found a 22-25ft boat with no stern running lights and only the bow navigation lights on. After finding the boat we approached slowly. During the first attempt to over take them, they turned and cut us off causing a second full stop. After zigging, we zagged past. Clear sailing after that. Mike mentioned that it was too bad the boat didn't have a horn. I found the button and gave a few blasts. Then I couldn't remember the official blasts. I looked it up on line for fun.

I understand that a stupid boater isn't going to have the foggiest what the horn blasts mean?
Sound Signals
There are five basic sound signals a boater should know. I will briefly outline them. Should you require more information on sound signals and the Rules of the Road, the Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary recommend that you take an appropriate safe boating course. The Coast Guard Auxiliary provides several courses, which include this information, as well as our Boat Crew program for members of the Auxiliary.
Sound signals are broken into two types, long and short blasts. Short blast lasts for 1 to 3 second and a long blast from 4 to 6 seconds.
You will normally hear these sets of sound signals:
1 short blast and 2 short blasts which signify intent and acceptance in overtaking situations.
Three (3) short blasts signifying a vessel in astern propulsion (as when a boat is backing out of a slip)
Five (5) short blasts, which signifies danger or disagreement.
One long blast, which is meant as a warning that I am about to move from a position, which may be blind to you. You’ll use/hear this signal when your about to leave a slip (either in forward or astern propulsion), where the master of the vessel is blind to possible approaching traffic from the main waterway or as you are about to round bend in a waterway (like a river).
