 Today I took Gamma to Premier Lake and did several dives. I
 reached 50 feet on the second dive and my employee took it
 out for a 20 foot dive. 
 The hatch was leaking on the first dive until I got down to
 20 feet or so. Never leaked after that. No other leaks at
 all.
 ACQ's are amazing and clear as a bell. I hit the bottom
 a bunch of times until I figured it out. 
 The rudder is very effective and the sub is quite speedy
 going forward and poor in reverse. Acceleration is modest
 but it gets going quite well.
 The launch cart worked quite well but was a bit problematic
 because it floats :-) 
 I have a small noise to trace from the magnetic drive
 coupler area.
 All in all a success 
 Hank
