This time we attached strops to the bows and stern, and made loops for the oil drums. Digging into the silt reduced the visibility to zero. | As previous dive | |

The boat now raised to below the surface I tied on plastic containers and another oil drum, filled them, and undid the mooring. | As dive 45. Used steel 69 and 87. We had a portable compressor on shore. |
