Wednesday's update - cruddy weather in Cheyboygan, divers going home for today

Hi All,

We talked to one of the divers this evening. Said they were just putting the boats away. He also said it was raining hard and the waves were about seven feet; said they weren't sure they would get back to shore. They were out all day today, and they found some metal pieces, but they didn't investigate because the weather was so bad. They will go out tomorrow morning at 7 am, and their target will be those pieces.

We are driving up to Cheboygan tomorrow and will take the ferry over to Bois Blanc Island. I have emailed Mike White (Ed. note: from the Bois Blanc Is. online community board) to let him know, and he says he and the man who heard the plane will meet the early boat, and we can go from there. We also plan to stop in Mackinaw City, where the divers' boats dock.

We're going up there (it's a 5 hour drive) basically just to look around and see the lay of the land. I'll take some photos, just in case there's something to see.

The weather here in Michigan is getting colder. The search boats are having a harder time of it. We pray for their success in finding the plane.

Love to all,
Kathleen
