It also occurred to me that the coast guard doesn't really like towing boats when they don't have to, so they might be able to refer you to a...
Underwater conditions change over time for various reasons. I'd pay a Scuba diver to go down and look around and report back on actual depth,...

In BC we have had an update from our health minister on a new Covid-19 variant that is reported to be more dangerous and more contagious....

The last boat recorded being built was listed as a 1990 build, the owner of the company died in 1996, so it may be a little hard to get detailed...
When you are too stubborn to learn anything new ;) (or unable to due to loss of senses or cognition.) Oh and for Colin, I came up with these...
