Comments:

As most know, there is a rope from shore to the wood pilings.  
What some might not know is that this rope also continues
along the port side of the wreck (right side heading out).  
It can be found on the sandy bottom next to the wreck.  
It continues out to the third train bridge support.  
The rope passes along several objects...one that looks 
like a large metal box...freezer size.

The rope makes getting out there easier, but when the currrent
is running strong I don't recommend it. It is a long way out...
so, keeping an eye on your air is very important.
