What's goin' on?
Anybody have any idea what that jack-up barge is doing out a half a mile offshore of the FL/AL line? I've seen a bunch of small boats hanging out around it. Reckon it's a seagoing establishment of negotiable affections? Games of chance? Spirituous liquors?

They are filming a movie about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. I wonder if there will be any reference to young Quint being on board?
So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945.

There is a film crew set up under the bridge across the street from Cobalt. I was wondering what they and the barge were doing.

Plenty of sharks to serve as extras.
I hope they become stars and go to Hollywood.
