Pat Clyne's new book "THE ATOCHA ODYSSEY" is a MUST READ. I could not put it down. It tells the story of a mans dream to find treasure and how he took his family on that journey. It tells of the hardships and how the shipwreck would just keep teasing, giving up little treasures for years, the loss of family and a friend, then to find the treasure mother lode on the exact anniversary of their death. It's a love story, the love of a wife and mother that keeps a family together during years of hard times. It tells about the battle with the government when they tried to steal it all away. This book has it all. Lots of great pictures. Pat Clyne takes you on the Fisher family adventure as only a Golden Crew Member could do. This book is a must read for anyone who loves an adventure.

Few Southern Californians realize that over 110 fishing barges dotted our coastline from San Diego to Santa Barbara and beyond for three quarters of a century. Many of these barges sank and are now popular wreck sites, including the Star of Scotland, Georgia, Melrose, Olympic II, Elsie I, Ace One, Gratia, Lazy Daze and Sacramento. The story of each barge, its previous trades under sail and steam, the barge industry, and the fishing of yesteryear are captured in Fishing Barges of California 1921-1998. Fishing Barges of California 1921-1998 by Ed Ries is 104 pages with over 260 illustrations and archival photographs. New $14.95 Click here to pay on-line using your credit card:
