Bright and early Monday Morning, and I am back at work, after 
a very warm weekend here in sunny Alberta... I was not expecting the weather to 
be so warm, but being that it was, I tried to arrange to launch the 
ol'sub..  after several false starts on friday, and then again on saturday, 
it was finally a go for sunday......
 
I am happy to announce that "Snoopy" has completed 
its first dive..it officially hit the water on October 15th, at 15:15 hrs, and 
went under the water for the first time at 16:50.  The dive only lasted 5 
min, but was completely successful..  This is now a functioning 
Submarine,  the only minor problem, was one that George 
described in his book..(I just lived the experience as well).. I blew all the 
ballast tanks, and I was still way out of the water.. after adding some ballast 
in the form of large rocks, I was finally able to get under the water... 
everything worked as planned..Pictures will be posted as soon as I get them 
developed...
 
 
And Pat.. the video and stills will be comming your way for 
the "Homebuilt Subs Video" as soon as I get them all 
organized...
 
dale..
