A different kind of weekend
One of the great intangible benefits of getting involved in community work is the contacts you make. I have met some very interesting folks so far.
The members of our working group are all accomplished professionals in their respective fields. While we may differ in opinion at times, I believe we all have the same goal of providing valuable recommendations for the sustainable future of the marine sanctuary.

The foundation of the reef
Last year I bought a house. It’s an old house that needs a lot of work. If I hadn’t bought it when I did, I’m sure it would have been condemned by now. I have a comfortable space with my office, kitchen and big screen for baseball games. I’ll get the repair work done over time. I’m a simple guy, so none of the sub par stuff bothers me.

Since it went down 11 years ago, the 'Spiegel Grove' has attracted more than 200 species of fish -- and thousands of divers.
After 11 years, 'Grove' is paid off
The Spiegel Grove is free and clear after a decade plus a year.
A payment made last week closed the books on a loan taken out by the Key Largo Chamber of Commerce to finance the sinking of the mothballed U.S. Navy ship Spiegel Grove, now one of the diving world's best-known shipwreck reefs.
