New Artificial Reef
CAPTAIN GREG MICKEY
Dear Friends,
I?m sure you are like many of Greg's friends and associates ? wanting to do
something, anything to help. With those same thoughts, an informal group has now turned into a formal committee, and this is what we have determined to do in memory of Greg:
We propose the creation of an extraordinary living memorial to remember our friend through the purchase, preparation, and reefing of a 170 plus foot vessel to be placed near Frying Pan Shoals.
Plans include the rechristening and dedication of this vessel as Captain Greg MicKey. Think of all the sea life that will call the Captain Greg MicKey their home for well over a hundred years- the fish, lobster, coral and more!
And, because of the rechristening, the vessel will forever be recognized as the Captain Greg MicKey. What a wonderful tribute to a man we all know loved the ocean and loved life so much.
The Onslow Bay Artificial Reef and Long Bay Artificial Reef Associations have committed to help fund this project; however, we need to have other monetary donations to meet the financial obligation of this undertaking. We know the entire community will want to be a part of this and we hope you will be a part of this effort.
We are asking for your financial support to allow this to become a reality. Please open your heart and make your donation by October 1st. All monies are tax deductible. Please call if you have any questions at
(910) 790-3948.
Sincerely,
THE CAPTAIN GREG MICKEY COMMITTEE

Capt Greg MicKey Sunk!!!

Well folks, it finally happened! The vessel Captain Greg MicKey was reefed Saturday August 4, 2007 at 6:32 PM at position 33.29.392 077.35.289
The event was well attended with many family and friends in attendance, including Brad & Chris MicKey, Greg's sons, and Julia MicKey, Greg's wife. "The MicKey" was stubborn and required the tug boat to add water from above to get her to begin the descent to the ocean floor. It was a very emotional moment for all involved.
Several people, including Julia, were able to snorkel it shortly afterward. The bridge and stack are amazingly close to the surface, reachable to most any freediver. It sits in around 70 ft of water perfectly upright. The Captain Greg MicKey will definitely be an awesome place for fishing and diving!
For those of you who may be diving, The Captain Greg MicKey look for two plaques placed on the vessel in memory of Greg. One in the ships wheel house and another on the stern.
