As some of you may know, Jill and I were in a pretty violent "rollover wreck" yesterday on the Florida Turnpike. We are a bit battered and bruised, but okay so far. We had a van packed full of dive gear and underwater film equipment, including a few rebreathers. Let us all join together and sing the praises of Pelican cases. Wes Skiles, Tom Morris and Nathan Skiles were traveling with us in another van, and they hurriedly turned around to assist. It was a bit dicey there while we were rolling upside down and end over end! I kicked out the windshield to extracate myself, and with the assistance of an ER nurse (in scrubs who was passing by), we got an upside-down Jill right-side-up.
After a checking over by a doctor, Jill continued on to meet the RV Tiburon for a National Geographic film project. I am picking up the pieces and holding the fort.
Thank you all for your love and support! Robert McClellan, for Jill Heinerth

Hey Jill...welcome to the "The diving is great but the drive was a doosey" club! Only 4 members so far but sadly expanding rapidly!
Take care mates, Harry.

What - the ground is flat and the car still fell over. Time to buy a Toyota. Not the type you hired here in Oz but the mountain goat variety you loved so much. Glad to here you are both OK.

OK, Jill- the seats are DOWN, the roof is UP. & it doesn't change!
Glad you both & your gear are doing OK, & good leg work there, kicking out the window...
Hope the Abacos proves safer that the Pike

Holy crap Batman, I am glad that ya'all are OK.

Glad all is safe...

I'm glad you are both ok. This confirms my hypothesis that the most dangerous part of going cave diving in north Florida is the time spent on the highway. Anyway, have fun in Abaco! Wish I could be there, too.

Except for the equipment, I'm glad you're OK!
