| DAY ONE - ONE OF THE
ANCHORS ARE MOVE |
| On November 17, 2009 the
members of the dive team attached an air bag to one of the anchors, and
with the anchor free from the bottom and suspended below the air bag
they pulled it to the point where it will be lifted onto shore.
Photos were taken by Wim de Boer,
Dick's father-in-law. |
