| DAY TWO - THE SECOND ANCHOR IS MOVED |
| On November 18, 2009, again the members of the dive team went out in the Moonray and attached an air bag to the second anchor. These are the photos from that trip. Again the photos were taken by Wim de Boer, Dick's father-in-law. |
|
|
| These are photos of the Moonray before she left the dock. |
|
|
| As with the propeller, the Aruba Coast Guard stood by should they need to offer the dive team any assistance. |
|
|
| This photo shows the airbag as it breaks the surface. A crewmember of the Moorray stands on the bow and watches. |
|
|
| Another view of the airbag as it comes to the surface. |
|
|
| From what I can see in this photo the Aruba Coast Guard may have assisted by holding the airbag in position. |
|
|
| The dive team relax after the
work is done. Dick may be reading to the Captain Richardson's two children
(Brian and Kyle
Richardson (younger is Kyle)). Andre also seems interested in the
story.

| Toine takes a much needed rest now that his work is done and the tow is underway. |

| Those on the boat relax as the tow proceeds to shore and shallow water. |
|
|
| A happy owner and boat Captain. |
