No need for formality w/ me sobfrogg or frogg is fine.

The charter went GREAT. Capt Jerry and his crew were some of the best I have been on the lake with. We have 8 divers and there was planty of room for all of our gear. All but 2 divers were diving single 80's. So 2 tanks for all.
We dove the Wille, first time for me. Vis was an easy 50' temp on the wreck was 42 - 44 depending on which puter you looked at. Lots to look at even if you do not go inside.
I myself spent 58 mins in the wreck. Even at the 20' barrel you could make out the wreck. I check out the wheel house and spent alot of time in the cargo holds. The prop from this wreck is on display at Waukegan harbor so nothing there. The bow is in a whole and drops to 90'. the Stern is at 79' and the tie in point is at 55'. She is laying on here side. Makes penetrating a little different if you are used to wrecks sitting on there keel.
We will be going back to the Willie on July 7th. And we will be using Len-Der again.

The Willie was the first dive I made in lake Michigan, and I was hooked. Glad you had a good time.

I saw that one there, But the one on disply at Waukegan Harbor is from the Willie. Or so the sign on it says so. Even a little history to go with it.
HMMMMMMMMM

If you are walking from Capt Dales boat to the public bathrooms you walke right by it..

I thought the one in Milwaukee by Jerry's dock is from the Willie. Jerry brought it up.

I am not saying the prop at Jerry's dock is not from the WIllie, BUT the prop on display at Waukegan harbor IS from the Willie. I went by and read the plauqe after I pulled my boat out of the water today.

Heres a thought. The Willie had 2 props. Jerry may have brought both of them up. I will have to ask Jerry when I see him Again on the 7th.

You're probably right. I've never read the plaque.
