However, I'm encouraged to hear that there is now an effort to restore the sea. I hope it's a success. A fleet of decaying ships in the middle of a desert does make a fascinating image. Mike, your short introduction was nice and spooky. In reminds me of the Ambrose Bierce short story, "An Inhabitant of Carcosa" . (Actually, I'll be surprised if you HAVEN'T read that story, Mike.)
