Hi Jim,
Thanks, yes took some pictures & video. Will show you at conference.
Everywhere you go people engage you in conversation & eventually
It gets to my destination in America being a submarine convention.
People are just so interested in the concept of personal submersibles.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone.
Regards Alan
