So with a chance of showing Ula a bit of history up close he did advise “we don’t think it was carrying anything explosive judging by the records we have but it’s best to not touch anything. Just look for now”. So with a smile had added “lets go deeper and locate it”. So with masks on again they dived deeper searching for the ship. It could blend into the reef having been taken over by the local eco system but there was still tell take signs to look for like it’s scattered cargo. Ula W. Ravenmore

A deeper dive was something she felt would be good and so she went in after him. It was going to be a good workout for her muscles and she did not mind that plus if he found what he was looking for she considered that a water success. She fixed her mask a bit so she could hopefully see better as she pointed to the left almost to indicate "perhaps there?" Largo Vasquez

Ula seemed to have spotted something so he went in the indicated direction. The ship was somewhere round here but the initial investigation showed it was in two pieces after the torpedo attack. So that gave more to look for. He gave her a thumbs up sign as they kept looking but other thoughts did occur to him. She was a good friend and she looked good as well. She deserved good things but he wasn’t sure if he was the guy for her. His life was complicated enough and if they’d end up with more needed more thought. He did find the back end of the ship that was lying on its side and the propellor poking out of the coral. It was hard to see properly even with underwater flashlights but that looked like a ship.

She could feel what someone else might describe as freedom. It was hard at times to feel something like that but this was still different. Still the swimming itself in a place like this did something and when you seen even just a small glimpse as she did now, it did need a moment of peace as she looked at Largo and pointed, she wanted to go more towards it to see what they could find if anything.

Ula swimming alongside seemed to spot it too and she pointed as they couldn't talk right now. So closer in and deeper down they went. Using his divers knife he had to move some coral but this did reveal what he'd thought he'd seen. Metal preserved in the salt water sea but it would destroy it in time. Even war touched these island waters but he did wonder what else had. Showing Ula the propeller and the part of the hull they were seeing history in action but if bodies remained this would be their grave. Ula W. Ravenmore

History in the making she could understand that but seeing it first hand was something different. She followed Largo and honestly she was amazed but more than that she was simply enjoying the sea which she had never thought was good as she pointed up. "Go up with me for a second?" she muffled.

Giving Ula the thumbs up he also nodded. So following her assent the6 were nearing the surface. You still needed to be alert in these waters as you’d find sharks all round the coast but usually were only a problem while swimming if you happened to run into one. Even then that tended to happen further out that they were diving. Ula W. Ravenmore

She was better in water than she had thought that she would be as she turned and then put herself up on the shore as she leaned down to help Largo come up on shore too. "I had an idea," she said. "Requires a small bit of a shore walk though but it is fun and not dangerous if you are interested." Largo Vasquez

They could still walk ion the bit of shore Ula found so he replied “we can do that once we let the tanks loose. Then see what we can find”. So they started to walk once the tanks rested on the sand. Ula W. Ravenmore

She might be, becoming more of the outdoor adventure type but it was a little too early to tell. "I thought you would say no," she said. "Not to be rude but I don't know." It seemed they only knew a little about one another and given the time that made sense but she thought that they were also learning which was good. "We both are cautious I think we share that, do you?" Largo Vasquez

Largo was cautious and frankly at times it had kept him alive in the field. He had good reason to not rush things with Ula given he’d a bad breakup already. “We both have that in common. Sometimes archeology is dangerous in the field but here I do feel more relaxed and able to be more adventurous” he replied looking to Ula. “I like you a lot but I want this to work with us”. Ula W.

She knew that she was still feeling everything out even being here after so many months but she liked taking her time. Having been married before made her scared to even do small things but she also knew that life would and did go on and because of that she tried to do as much research as she could before though it often fell through as she lead him through a small not poisonous patch and then pointed. "Cafe," she said pointing now across a small street that only let a little normal town life in. "Want to go have a hot drink?" She stopped still making sure it had less traffic as she heard him speaking. "This?" she asked cautiously. "Our friendship?" she asked truly trying to figure out what his us meant. "Or something else? I get it a little. New things that we may want may seem difficult when we've been married before so I am just making sure we are clear is all." Largo Vasquez

“Coffee sounds like a good idea” Largo replied. Then they crossed the road to the cafe now their diving was done. “I’m sure our friendship is solid. We’ve both been burned in relationships and the divorce nearly cost me Estella as well. It did make me be a better father and be there more. Though I did my part by teaching her all I could you have to be there for them. We can start small and see how that seed grows. We should be able to work as a couple at least. The rest might fall into place later on”. Ula W. Ravenmore

She slowly mused through this idea as she listened to him speak. She could understand the caution because who wanted to get burned once none the less twice or more. "Well," she too was thinking of what to say.as a response. "I am sure she, your daughter might or might not be thrilled at new prospects in her father's life but sure that sounds good enough to me." It was less pressure and plus it gave lots of room for ideas and growth. "I think that sounds fine." Largo Vasquez

“Estella is trying to get me to be more outgoing. Her mother is getting on with life too and having a grandchild is fun. So you don’t have to worry about her” Largo replied. Then they reached the cafe. Ula W. Ravenmore
