[PSUBS-MAILIST] Psubs Conference 2015

Wed Sep 3 10:32:28 EDT 2014

More launch observations, now that I go to the lakes alone, it is important that I can launch and recover with ease.  I have eliminated the extendo pole (daughter calls it that).  I use a tow strap, it is much easier and acts as a safety because it connects the truck to the trailer before I disconnect. So far I have traveled 5km round trip with one battery bank and a passenger.  Next trip is 10 km round trip with no passenger and all batteries installed.

 I
 like the idea, but I would not be able to attend. I am
 building another store and won't be done till after
 March 1.

 Thanks,
 Scott

 May I propose a winter timeframe? The
 greatest challenge in the subs is the heat.

 I am also in the Keys camp.  Site was fantastic,
  Suhr's were unbelievable as Alec notes, and if I can
 get the mods to the R300 made in time, I would take her
 again.  This time the goal is to dive in the deep blue
 clear sea.

 I have to agree, taking the Auto-Train down
 there with Alan and Snoopy was a joyful experience and the
 hospitality of the Suhr family was unbelievable. I would
 take Snoopy again in 2015, will be aiming to reach the
 drop-off this time. I'm aching to get the new sub out
 there, for the extra freeboard, but I think construction
 will take until 2016.

 Jon, 
 Sign me up for the Keys Camp
 meet. Will be down there next week, but only to Homestead
 (for about six weeks).

 Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Psubs Conference 2015

 ISR is scheduled for June 22-26, 2015 in Bethesda, MD.  I
 agree this 
 might be an interesting excursion however it will require a
 lot of 
 planning.  Note that the submarine race competition is for
 wet subs 
 only, usually one-man, prone-position, and lightweight
 fiberglass 
 construction.  Whether they have the facilities to support
 2-ton steel 
 submarines will have to be researched.  I met someone from
 ISR at 
 Underwater Intervention a few years ago and he was
 interested in 
 partnering with PSUBS so they may be receptive to the idea. 
 I don't 
 recall his name but it could have been Dave McGee.  ISR runs
 every other 
 year to give time for competitors to build their submarines,
 so the next 
 opportunity would not be until 2017.

 I'm in the Keys camp.  Great diving opportunity and we
 know the 
 logistics so it's easy to plan.  I forsee this becoming
 our conference 
 "home" at consistent dates each year so that folks
 can make better plans 
 to attend.

 Jon
