Alec, Expect to have
one or two kayaks and possibly snorkeling gear, scuba would be too much to haul
back to the States. Will check if there is an inflatable available also.
Be careful about how reimbursement for support vessels is handled as this may
be considered a “charter vessel” which takes a licensed captain and
possibly an inspected vessel even on a lake. The USCG is very liberal in
what is defined as payment for services. Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries

[mailto:owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org] On Behalf Of Smyth, Alec Hi all, This message is directed to those planning to attend the
convention without submarines. I'm wondering how many people might be
planning on: - Bringing their SCUBA gear - Bringing a boat or renting one at the lake. One can rent boats from http://www.7pointsmarina.com/, or http://www.raystownresort.com/marina.htm,
and probably some other smaller places. Seven Points Marina has the
advantage of being located right where we'll be launching and diving the
subs. It would make sense for people to club together and reserve a
support vessel as a group, with the ideal boat probably being a party
barge. Does anyone want to volunteer to be a rental captain and recruit a
crew to share in the fun and spread the cost? If I'm being supported by such a
crew, I certainly don't mind chipping in to share the cost of a rental, but
would not want to be the captain of two vessels simultaneously. thanks,
