Ken and Sophie dove Ft. Ross over the holiday weekend, as a shore dive. They found the anchor chain, but not the rest of the wreck. The vis was slightly better then the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool until we got out to the reef and under 30' there it opened up to about 6-8'. They saw the biggest lingcod ever and a worm that came out of Dune.

Here's a video of part of the dive: https://youtu.be/DJ7ioc540hM
