UPDATE- I got the phone call from Rafe at 11:45 am. today, that they, (I believe this is correct) that Rafe Antil, Terry Migaud, Wil Demuth and Jarred Ulich, made 2 dives to approx. 250fsw at the rig Blake was last seen at. They searched all over the platform to see if Blake may have been tangled to no avail. Rafe also mentioned that it looked like the Coast Guard was heading back in.
For those of you who didn't know Blake, he was a very likable guy that would give you the shirt off his back. I've never seen him without a smile on his face and I have to say, he always treated me with the utmost respect and got the same back. For some reason, I was tuna fishing Thursday and Blakes name came up in conversation with me and the captain several times, nothing but good stuff, in fact I've never heard anyone say anything bad about Blake. And Friday, my screensaver started flipping pictures the way it does, and the picture with Blake, Jonathan and the others with the huge tunas they shot last year popped up; for some reason, the only person I saw in that pic was Blake. I will miss you my friend.
