During the process of this book you will get dirty. You may find yourself covered in paint, or any other number of foreign substances. You will get wet. You may be asked to do thins you question. You may grieve the perfect state that you found the book in. You may begin to see creative destruction everywhere. You may begin to live more recklessly!
the wreck of the Countess of Erne, Portland Harbour.
In its prime the Countess of Erne was a paddle steamer, but was used in later life as a coal hulk in Portland harbour. It sank in 1935 after its moorings broke lose. The site is within the shelter of the harbour, parallel to the northeast wall next to the white lighthouse - there is usually a fixed shot marking the stern which is the north end of the wreck. The wreckage lies upright and is still intact, although much of the superstructure has gone. The visibility can be really bad because of the its location inside silty Portland Harbour. There is some fish life however, and a few holes in the wreck to inspect. It lies upright on the sea floor and some of the holds could be entered if the visibility remains good
The Banshee's empennage, including the vertical stabilizer and both horizontal stabilizers, on steep terrain at the crash site.
On February 22, 1959, a US Navy McDonnell F2H-4 "Banshee" fighter (BuNo 127614) flown by LT James F. Wiley crashed while approaching NAS Moffett Field. LT Wiley was killed, and the aircraft was destroyed.
LT Wiley and the Banshee fighter were assigned to air wing VAW-11, which was preparing for the Banshee's last deployment at sea before the type was withdrawn from the fleet.
Due to the steep terrain at the crash site, the wreckage was left in place. However, as with all US Navy aircraft wrecks around the world, the Navy retains ownership of the wreckage.
I took these photos when I visited the site of the crash in 1994.

It was 2 o'clock yesterday not long out of bed and as I was sitting on the computer playing video games I had this epiphany.
It was like some higher voice reached out and told me to get off my ass, stop been a nerd wasting your week off and go do something constructive.
I immediately grabbed my camera, shot out the door and headed down The Otways.
I managed to make it down the 366 steps by about 5 just in time for a very overcast sunset.
Walking back up those stairs in the dark was a little bit painful but worth it
