Texas Clipper Reefing Date

[RECDiver]

TPWD announced on Saturday at the Wildlife Expo that the reefing of the Texas Clipper should occur on Tuesday, October 23, 2007. Of course, the reefing of the ship will depend on weather and sea conditions.

How deep will the ship lay?

[RECDiver]

The sand will be approximately 135 feet. The deck should be 75-80 feet deep and the wheel house about 45 feet deep. These are approximate depths.

TPWD has cried wolf again. They have canceled the reefing till November 15 because they can't get enough dignataries for the 23rd date. This new date is probably a rouse as well. My understanding is they can't have more than 3 foot swells for the reefing. Any of you who are familiar with the Gulf of Mexico in November know there are better odds in Vegas.
I am no longer going to post this rediculous changing of the date anymore. IF the Texas Clipper ever makes to the bottom of the Gulf (and not the harbor) I will post that info.

What a joke. Nobody but divers and fishermen give a hoot about sinking a ship anyway. If it's not a re-election issue, they'll never get "enough dignataries"
