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..
