In recent years I've heard about a couple different TBD's off of California. Can't imagine what kind of shape they are in. Salt water/air is not good :drinkers:

I'll send 20 bucks if it'll help... :-/ beyond that, I can't really afford it. But Lord knows I would if I could!

Waiting for one thing or another last time I heard. Assume it is 'out of season' at the moment. Hopefully 2012! Any relevant anniversaries with regards TBD's this year??
