She is actually back at the builder getting further improvements for next year, with the addition of a galley, better over-night accomodations, a new anchor system to better ``dual anchor`` on the deep stuff etc.
Gypsyblood is docked in slip number 2 at the Barnegat Light Marina, located at 6th St. and Barnegat Bay in Barnegat, New Jersey.

Location description: We offer tours of Wrecks, The Incredible World of Wreck Diving...
The real drama can be found touring one of the causalities of the German U-boat fleet, like the Gulftrade. She was cut in half by U-588 with Kapitanleutnant Vogel in charge, on March 9, 1942. One of the unusual elements of this attack was that is was so close to Barnegat Lighthouse that people in Barnegat City were awakened by the blast and saw the pillar of flames from their homes. Eighteen men who may have gotten into a lifeboat never heard from again, nine survived by remaining in the still floating stern and Captain Olsen and six other crew members survived in the remaining lifeboat.
The bow, of the Gulftrade, drifted off Barnegat about six miles and eventually sunk in 54 feet of water. The hull was later blasted and cable dragged, by the Army Corps of Engineers, as a hazard to navigation. The stern, however, drifted 13.5 miles ENE of Barnegat Inlet and came to rest in 80 feet of water where it rests relatively intact. One of the tens of thousands of wrecks that lie on the Ocean`s floor...
It is rare indeed to get that close to an historical artifact of war. One can not help but be moved as you look inside that wreck and try to imagine what it was like that fateful night over 60 years ago; what ever happened to the souls of those 18 missing sailors.
You can`t help but wonder if they are still out there waiting to be rescued... things like that make diving here so unique. We can provide guided tours of these and other wreck sites.
