After lunch skipper James took us over to Smith Rock. We had a great time swimming around the wreckage of the former Liberty ship Marietta Dal which hit Smith Rock and sank in 1950. Those old Liberty ships were welded together and had a bad habit of breaking in half!  The wreckage is strewn all over the place at about 12 metres.  We missed the bulldozers this time but saw a lot of interesting country and a good mix of fish.
