Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.
And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

This unidentified wood wreck sits in 110 feet of water 17 miles out of Fire Island Inlet. The wreck was found by Captain Jay Porter the wreck was apparently named for the weight of a large codfish caught on the site. The wreck's wooden ribs only protrude a foot or so out of the sand but divers report that the site is excellent for catching large lobsters. A few years ago Captain Billy DeMarigny found the ship's bell. Unfortunately, no name was on it.
