WE PACKED, budgeted, and planned for a 3 day trip covering 568 miles. We were going to just cover the 60th Anniversary of SEALAB in Panama City Beach. Well…. Over 10,000 miles of driving, 11 states, and over 2 months later, we are finally back home 🏡. Grateful to my wife for sprinting right alongside me during this extreme deviation from the original plan, and for being there during high stress moments. We both grew a few more gray hairs through all of this, but also gained rewards through new found friendships that we hold dear and valuable beyond measure. The Sea-Lab Aquanauts are the greatest people that I have ever met. Equally, the lives lead and character of the family members.. the wives, sons, and daughters of these legends are just as remarkable. The conclusion of this adventure could not have been more appropriate than to meet up with Keith “Omar” Moore and his wife in Titusville followed by then meeting Brian Blackburn, owner of a successful Architect business in Stuart Florida and also the son of Sea-Lab III Aquanaut Richard Blackburn. MELINDA- Thank you for the kindness and PATIENCE shown towards my 3 rambunctious boys. THANK you so much for inviting us into your home and the wonderful dinner. Biggest burritos I have ever seen! BRIAN, thank you so much for your hospitality and for what was truly great conversation. I also want to thank you for the gift! The custom bottle of Single Barrel Jack Daniels created by, and crested by the Navy SEAL Museum emblem in honor of Americas armed forces is going in a glass case. Can’t drink it. It’s too nice. 🔱🇺🇸🔱 Incredibly kind. THANK YOU. Now- We’ve got one hell of a Sea-Lab documentary to put together, told the right way, and by a fellow Navy Diver.

THAT’S A WRAP- 🎬💥 It’s been a grind. It has not been easy, but the rewards, friendships, and support for us has been monumental. Our work out West is complete. Hard to believe we’ve reached this point. We shift East for 2 final interviews- 1 in Louisiana, and the last in Miami. THANK YOU! All of our supporters and friends out West ROCK!

FROM EVERGREENS at off the 5 at 8,000ft to Redwoods on the 101 at Sea Level- I’ve gotta say I think the 101 up through the Redwood National forest and down into Crescent City might just be the most enchanting experience on earth. Tried to capture it all on cameras but gave up- nothing compares to witness all of this in person. LordeLIFE® RED 🔴 Cinema Studio | Mariano Lorde | Naduah Lorde #CrescentCity #Highway101 #life

BEHIND-THE-SCENES TIME-LAPSE of the final interviews with the great Saturation Pioneers of SeaLab. They are the pillars and Trail Blazers that made todays undersea world as safe as it is. —— Truly an honor to have been afforded the opportunity to talk with and interview these great people. John Kleckner, Mark Lugo, Fernando Lugo, Keith Moore, Martin Harrell, Dawn Kernagis, Larry Bussey and his entire family, Bernie Campoli, Jay Myers, Dick Long, the late Jack Schmitt, Kevin Hardy- Thank you all for taking the time to either talk with me or say hello! This really was a special event. Special Thanks to all of the volunteers and all of the hardwork that went into such a monumental celebration. Man In The Sea Museum- Steve and Brian- you guys really raised the bar with this one. LordeLIFE® RED 🔴 Cinema Studio | Man In the Sea Museum | Mariano Lorde | Naduah Lorde

MOST OF the shooting for the SEALAB 60th is over. A few major interviews tomorrow then there’s it. We completed interviews with just about all of the SEALAB Aquanauts. Fernando Lugo, Martin Harrell, John Kleckner, the Larry Bussey and family, Fabian Cousteau. Yes. THAT Cousteau. The interviews are either completed or will be within the next day. The coming film release capturing it all will be something special. I have so many photos with so many great people as well. The footage we’ve captured on camera is amazing, yet I’m stuck. Immobile. Unable to speak my thoughts. I don’t know how to put into words what I’m thinking and what it’s been like to experience the stories and exploits of these legendary SEALAB aquanauts. The stories their families told me. So much there. So much that I can’t organize it in a way that would do it justice. All of the Man In The Sea staff and supporters.. the people and businesses from this city and abroad- all of you did something truly moving and special these last few days. I spent 20 years in service to this country, and the Dive Community, and I’ve often said “It’s good to be DeepSea”, but has never slammed home as much as it did this weekend. Man In The Sea Museum- you guys absolutely KILLED IT. Y’all did something incredible this weekend. 🔱🇺🇸🔱 DeepSea Steve Mulholland | Brian Thompson | Mariano Lorde | Naduah Lorde | Fabien Cousteau #ManInTheSeaMuseum #LordeLIFE #LordeCINEMA #SEALAB #Legends #DocuSeries #Documentary

The Hero’s Banquet for the SEALAB 60th anniversary was a monumental success. Man In The Sea Museum, Steve Mulholland, Brian Thompson, the rest of the team and all the sponsors truly honored history last night. We were honored to be the ones to capture the moments.
