She swam forward disturbing an inquisitive puffer fish on her way. A couple of divers were already busy with removing layers of silt and sand by using an airlift; a giant vacuum cleaner sucking up water and debris. They were ideal to use in those conditions avoiding for too much silt to be stirred up and in turn, obscuring visibility for the divers.
The survey points of the wreck were already marked by aluminium poles each carrying a number. Bette helped with measurement but remained somewhat astounded by how much was still left on the bottom of the sea. Broken pottery and discarded smokers’ pipes, some of these yellow bricks she had seen noted on the map and remnants of iron clad barrels. The bounty was plentiful but none of it from what was uncovered and visible, resembled a compass. She spent some time helping before signalling her excuse in search of the keel.
Levelling up with the spot she thought, would be most likely where the keel could be found, Bette pushed her hands into the soft silt, but she was not able to feel anything of note.

We lost a lot from our wreck lab in the Tsunami in 2004. The words resonated in Bette’s mind.
“Foiled again but this time by Nature.” Tina concluded when she took on the now familiar dejected look on the brunette’s face.
They were wandering down the west-facing Rampart street of Galle in search of some refreshments and food after another disappointing day. They had left the Advonster offices of couple of hours previously after Praki gave them a tour of the Project’s conservation lab.
Everything there had felt like treasure to Bette. Her archaeologist’s mind and heart had responded to all the specialised technology on display in the large hangar type structure, their guide had taken them to, as well as all the work underway to preserve every artefact and concretion lifted off the seabed.
It was Bette’s way of life, her idea of a treasure but she knew that these theories would not appease Kelly Wentworth.
They had got back to their hotel, showered and changed and were now strolling in the cooler night air of early evening. They watched how impromptu games of cricket had begun, when men gathered below the grassy ramparts of Galle fort. Dressed in their whites and armed with willow-wood bats and red leather balls, they were busying themselves splitting the group into team, hammering the paraphernalia into the grounds and expressing words of fair play before the game started.

Hi Kins,
So glad to see this story! It will take some time to read it and i will leave a comment after i finish.
Hi, welcom back, Kins!
Thank you for finished this story! Ok, now i’m going to read it.
Hi, Kins
Oh my God, Kins, welcome back, after almost 2 years, it’s been a long time, but reading the whole story now I feel, the wait was worth.
You have given us a quite wonderful and interesting story full of adventures and riddles and full of love of my favorite couple Bette and Tina.
You ended the story in a very good way, but I feel as if I want to know more about them, if Bette gets the funding for her project in Mexico, the wedding, their partnership, what Tina does for a job… and many more things.
I hope we could read more new beautiful stories from you; I like very much your style.
Thank you very much and please, post other TIBETTE stories

Ok, i read again this story, this time the whole and i’m ready to leave another comment.
First – thank you again for finish the story.
Second – happy to see happy final -treasure was found, bitch Kelly got lost. And i must say i like how you got rid from her – like in life we can say with 100% probability what happened – or she sank or she was killed by shark.
Third – i like how you described Bette and Tina and love between them. I like it in all your stories (maybe with one exception – in Frozen beginnings i don’t like your Bette during the story, but in final she corrected :) )
So, welcome back and maybe in the future we can see another great story from you? I really hope so.
Hi Kins,
Really enjoyed the read, thank you so much.
A great Story and I loved reading it in one post. As an English Lady I really enjoyed your explanation of Cricket!
I would love it if you would now consider a Sequel with these two characters.
Thanks again for posting.

Welcom back, Kins!
I was a silent reader a long time, but after you finished this story i must register to say – “Thank you for fantastic story! And i hope this story won’t be your last on this site!”
Totaly agree with MissOne – i hope this story won’t be the last from you too!
Hi Kins,
You took us trough a incredible journey! Full of adventures, little clues i tried to catch to find the treasure, the background on the history of those ships and of course the love between Bette & Tina.
I really hope you will continu with a sequel or a new story.
Thank you so much for posting the whole story after two long years!
In-cre-di-ble! Kins, thank you so much for returning to this story and for giving us such a glorious and sweet ending. You’re such a talented writer. What a wonderful plot with astonishing details to the treasure hunt.
I second the previous comments and hope you’ll find the inspiration (and time) to work on a sequel. Maybe Bette’s project in Mexico with a twist with some unexpected traces of a legendary Aztec treasure ;)
Well ive read it at last.So pleased you managed to finish this story.I know how long it was in conception and all the research you did for its authenticity.
A great read.Loved the shark sequence.Found it quite thrilling.
