Located near Baya, the tugboat is a one of the few wrecks accessible from shore. Around this dive site, you'll not only get the chance to the tugboat wreck but also and the remnants of an old pier. Expect to see various types of sponges, columns, parrotfish, eels and much more. Visibility at this site is usually between 30 and 60 feet and the average depth is about 50 feet.
As a side note, ITV recently produced several of Austen's novels into TV movies. I have not seen any yet, as they are not readily available in the United States.
I, for one, refuse to dwell on these controversies. Anne Hathaway is lovely, gifted actress, and I am not so much of a purist that I can't abide taking a few liberties with my beloved Jane's life story. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire movie. You truly get a sense of Jane as a person, and it was obvious how much of her life inspired her work. https://incatalogue.ltd/ with her sister, Cassandra, was portrayed beautifully, the two clearly were the best of friends. After watching the movie, one feels a deeper understanding of her novels, and perhaps more importantly of the era in which she lived and the constraints placed upon women, especially, but also the men of the time. I encourage all Austen fans to partake of Becoming Jane.
Dan Wheldon went to work excited on race day this last weekend. He was starting in last place. He was the only driver participating in a contest where both he and a randomly selected fan would win $2.5 million if he finished first. This contest interestingly was sponsored by GoDaddy. Danica Patrick was at work this day as well. Her intention was to move, with her GoDaddy sponsorship, full time into NASCAR after this season ended. A mega multi-year contract with Andretti Autosport was about to be announced as Dan was going to replace Danica Patrick beginning in the 2012 season.
Number six requires you to shoot your tee ball through a window of trees, with anything left taking a swim, anything right heading into the forest, and anything long finding a creek. If you do avoid all that, you're left with at least a mid-iron into a well-bunkered green. We both got our money's worth here. Hansard headed into the forest while I took a swim. Long approaches came up short, and after a poor short-game display, I shamefully penciled in my first double of the day.
