Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Sitting High



Jay,
        Note I said "in a safe area".  I'm thinking off of the Summerland area.   It's true we do get some bad storms in the Winter time but with a cylindrical shape resting on the bottom I would think the worst that could happen would be it could become partially buried.  Would you be willing to entertain that idea without accepting it?

Brian,

Before mooring your boat on the bottom as you suggest, you aught to check how quickly things are destroyed on the bottom by the powerful storms you have on the West Coast.  I have seen several relatively new wrecks in very good condition decimated off of the coasts of San Diego and Santa Barbara in 75 to 100 fsw.

Exactly,  this is a serious delema.   I was just down at our local Harbor, Ventura CA, and was inquireing about a few things, namely cost of boat yard space...$3.00/ ft / day  !!!  also the overhead crawling crane capacity...165 tons   Trying to calculate the weight of a 50' concrete sub  8' dia .  does anyone know the capacity of those semi trailers?

 

Once is is in the water it could be kept on the bottom off shore in a safe area.
