Tim,Of coarse California is great for me, it is only a two day drive down where New York is 4 days each way.  If it was California, I could guarantee one sub from me. Hank

 Alec,

The majority of facilities would be at the south end of the lake at Watkins Glen.  This includes hotels, marinas, plus easily reachable shipwrecks.  The south end also has one of the only boat ramps that I *know* can launch a K-350.  There is also camping available there.  The other alternative would be the north end at Geneva...plenty of hotels there also.  There are sparse facilities along the east and west side, (Sampson State Park on the east side) and Severne Point on the west side which is a good spot for deep testing but few other facilities and I know we were unable to launch Dan H's K-350 Persistence there although I know you were able to launch Snoopy there.

I would have to check on boat lifts in Watkins but I am sure they are available.  All in all, I think Watkins Glen would be the best place for a conference as long as it's not a race weekend (for hotel availability).  

Where did you put in when you were up here last summer Alec?

 Eeek,
 I've organized a PSUBS convention once before and
 I'm not sure I quite want to be the lead. Particularly
 this year which is going to be particularly hectic. What
 I'd really like is to speak to our contacts over there
 and see what can be lined up in terms of specific facilities
 and help, but leave someone else the pleasure of lining up
 the speakers and sub owners, or the finances. 
 Al (Secor), if you're reading
 this... I've done two dive trips there but you're
 local. Would you have any specific recommendations as far as
 a site? Some of the Great Lakes subs likely to attend do not
 launch easily on a ramp and might even need to be craned in,
 and a launch site that implied minimal towing would also be
 a huge plus. I'm pretty sure we can line up surface
 support, but we could have a good number of subs. Please let
 us know any suggestions. Once I've heard from you my
 next step would be to sound out our friends at the Finger
 Lakes Underwater Preservation Assn.
 Before even starting down that path,
 are there any alternative ideas? I think Jon makes the call,
 after weighing whatever ideas are out there. 
 
 Thanks,
 Alec

 Sounds
 good to me. Alec, would you take charge and I and Steve can
 help since you already know everything at Lake
 Seneca?
  
 Thanks,

 Scott/All, I would be willing to be
 part of a team to help organize. I should have bandwidth to
 assist with a few assignments. If we confirm a core team
 early we can divide the work load and get an early start.
 Looks like we already have some subs and a reasonable
 date.
 
 Thanks,
 Steve
