Somehow our sailing vessel has landed in the middle of Lake Michigan which we discovered because we were suddenly in the middle of a vast quantity of angry sailors hellbent on reaching Mackinac Island. In the midst of this great flurry of confusion we ran aground on a small sand bar. Our metal indicators were flashing red so we set up a dive.
Although the visibility was very limited, "T" brought up some interesting artifacts which I will be sending on to the land assistant as soon as we are free from the sand bottom.
This inland sea doesn't provide us with much in the way of a tide, so we are trying to rock off the bottom by shooting the cannon first to the west and then to the east. I hope that our gunpowder holds out. Signing off......
