We worked with DMR, and we had divers go down and look for lobsters in the cove. We had some local fishermen tell us we wouldn't find any lobsters in the cove, and they were right.

We've got a dedicated group of professionals who have been able to gather a large amount of data in a short period of time. We understand that there's a lot of interest in this project, and we want to address any concerns.

During 2006, we're going to fill in data gaps. The data we've gathered so far is going to provide a lot of answers, but it's also going to generate a lot of questions. We plan to address those questions in the 2006 season.

It wasn't so bad for us. The hotel was at the far end of the cove. I didn't see the wave coming. I didn't see people drowning. But it was chaotic, and I was very scared for my kids.

No, I'm full of anxiety and I'm not feeling well. I was a bit euphoric earlier, but now my stomach is tight and the party is like a horror show. I'm completely overwhelmed with fear and dismay. How long have we been down here and is it almost over?

I've worked very hard to become comfortable with how death works and why it happens. I now know that death isn't out to get me.
