"What schedule did you follow fil?" he asked

"I have that in h, most of the scenes were in order, and that was because ere so cost-conscious that we didn’t want to pay actors e didn’t need them," Vanessa explained "Obviously, we filmed the scenes at Pirate Cut first, and then we filo, and then made our way over to South Biia left on the night she was killed, they were supposedly heading straight for Miami"

"And you don’t believe that Carlos Roca was a brilliant psychopath, pretending to be a great guy and savoring all the possibilities when Georgia went nuts and wanted to go hoood an actor, he would have been in front of the caarnered a few Oscars," Vanessa said with certainty "But here’s the thing, of course--he’s gone He can’t defend hiet out of this, but Carlos is another reason I’d so desperately love to find the truth He ht be a victim, too, and stand accused for this in the ht"

"Wedocuives rise to more questions," Sean warned

"It’s ht now," she said

"True But, objectively, I can’t blame the Coast Guard, the Bahaency They’ve hit a brick wall It’s iy, at any rate I’m sure that all over the Southeastern United States and at Caribbean ports, people are still on the lookout for the boat"

"Right--and how hard do you think they’re looking now? People forget, and they move on Other crimes happen It’s sad, but true," Vanessa said "And by the way, you do rinned "Yep, I do dishes well, too It’s only the laundry thing that escaped et David on the phone, gather soet your buddy Jay out there as well today, and I’ll interview both of you while we’re on the Conch Fritter"

"I’reat at dishes," she assured him

He set his in the sink He carefully kept his distance from her He wanted the day to be productive At thisher would be counterproductive

It was a beautiful day Calht sun, cool air

Jay was called upon to act as cah David and Sean set up the shot They spoke about beginning their documentary They were both excellent speakers, and it was a really good and casual segend and speaking about the events that had occurred on the recent film shoot They talked about the fact that Vanessa was Katie’s friend and had coht on the mystery

Sean then repositioned himself and the camera so that he in turn could interview Jay about the film Sean explained to David where he would want sea charts and other visual aids edited in, and they all see quite well

Katie had come on board with David, so there were five of theo into the water, Katie deter to lie in the sun--she was tired It was a busy ti to make sure that Clarinda would be ready to take over for her when they set out through the Berain, Sean explained that they were looking for good footage of the "bones," or the wreck field of the Santa Geneva Over the years, with store couldor breakup of a ship could begin the process, and ti into eternity The site was fairly shallow, and it was popular with divers; you would think it had been picked clean by salvage divers in the eighteenth century, and yet stillthe mermaid pendant Vanessa had discovered

Jay paired up with David, and Vanessa naturally paired up with Sean

It was cool in the water, but Vanessa’s skin was still enough for her Sean and the other men also opted for skins

Vanessa was thrilled that the sea was clear that day and the visibility was a to capture the enormity of the spread of the wreck over the years, and the size and shape of the ship itself Overlays could be edited in that would describe the Santa Geneva when she was afloat--and how she had been blasted by the pirate ship and came to sink and break up, forced onto the reef non as Pirate Cut

The ship had sunk north to south, and it was actually from a position of about five feet below the surface that Vanessa discovered she was getting the best long shot of the bones of the ship It was aically disjointed outline of what had once been a regal andship She e, keeping a straight sweep of the site, and then panning in slowly to shohat divers saw as they got closer If it wasn’t known that a great ship had gone down, a divertiot too close

She adjusted the zoo fro sensation burned through her as cold and hot as dry ice

She drew the camera away and looked down at the site The Santa Geneva seeraveyard

How iven the ship a vicious cannon salvo; they had boarded to kill and maim with cutlasses and pistols, and kidnapped Dona Isabella for the ransoht, who had perished in the water, were here soone, flesh eaten, bones bleached and disarticulated, food for the creatures of the sea Ghosts and h the lens again

And there she was, hazy at first, seeed coral and sand, thecolors--and the remains of the deck of the Santa Geneva far below
