[PSUBS-MAILIST] first dive

[hank pronk]

Thanks' Alan,
Your a fine one to talk, mr test a sub alone. :-)  yes a friend is coming along.  I have a 120 foot tether with com line, we are tying that to the dock.  When I tested my orange sub, I almost pulled my friend into the water.  It is his idea to tie the line to the dock lol.

All the best Hank. 
Err on the side of caution.
Are you taking anyone with you?

Hank,

May I suggest a subtropical climate with the only coral reefs in North America to explore! There's a house down the street for sale!

Best if luck!

Joe

>I am leaving tomorrow morning for Kootenay Lake, I am doing a test dive.  I am tired of waiting for winter to let go, I cant work on my barge.  Gamma is all loaded up and tarped up.  I can test the propulsion, and dive to safe depths.  I can not afford the 3k for batteries at the moment, so I have four batteries removed from my commercial truck sitting on the floor of Gamma.  I have the battery box filled with 480 lbs of scrap bits of steel.  It will be crowded inside :-) .  I am carrying the scrubber inside the truck to keep it warm.  It may be snowing out there, but that adds to the adventure.  I also replaced the mbt windows with steel plates, I was intending to drop her to 1,000 feet first.  I do not trust the condition of the mbt windows to handle unknown conditions at 1,000 feet.  I will leave the plates in place until I get the deep test done.
