Alan,
Congratulations on that portion of your world tour.  Did you take any  
pictures?  Looking forward to seeing you in Florida at the  convention.

I don't  want to make anyone jealous, but over the last couple of days
I've visited  Carsten & the Euronaut & been for a dive with Emile in the 
Nordic  sub.
Carsten is situated in Rostock, in the North East corner of Germany,  on 
the Baltic sea.
Very nice tourist destination that has tour boats  visiting.
Carsten took me to see Sgt Peppers & the Euronaut. There is  nothing like 
being there. 
The photos & videos don't do the boats  justice. When you get inside the 
Euronaut you
can appreciate why it took 12  years to build. Carsten spent about 2 to 3 
hrs answering
Questions &  explaining it's features. One stand out design feature was the 
many  beer
Bottle holders with Irish beer in them. I think these were the first  items 
he designed in
his CAD program & the rest of the boat evolved  around these.
Coincidentally Hugh, from my city Auckland, had visited the  day before.
Two days later I met up with Emile, who is only about 20  minutes by train 
from Amsterdam.
He has the Nordic sub moored permanently  outside a dive facility on a very 
picturesque little
Lake. I am going in to  a bit of detail here in case anyone wants to take 
their wife for a  holiday
In the Netherlands. Emile operates the submarine commercially &  the dive 
was certainly the
highlight of my trip so far.  He had a lot  of control over the boat & was 
hovering inches above
Wrecks. The Nordic  sub dives slightly lite so it can move off the bottom 
without engaging
the  thrusters & so doesn't disturb the sediment.
It was a pleasure meeting  up with Carsten & Emile who have been helpful to 
me on the net
over the  last 4 to 5 years. Many thanks guys.
Regards Alan
