Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Joining the Ring!

I just got home from my "real job" and was checking my email while eating dinner.  I've got to head down to the shop to work on my boat for a few hours tonight, so I don't have time to reply to this post in the manner I'd like to; but let me just say that, IMOHO, that's a mighty big little boat you've got there, Bill.  It's size conceals it's complexity: there's just about every system there that one could want in a minisub.  You obviously had it well thought out, and your execution seems uncompromising.  Good job!
 
Two questions occurred to me upon first glance at your site: 
 
(1) You mentioned building the WATERBEATLE to raise money for a hospital: how does one make money with a b.i.y. sub?  (All I've done so far is sink money into mine!) 
 
(2)  You mentioned being in the Guinness book.  For those of us without a handy copy, what record did you set; or what was the reason your sub made it into the book of World Records?
 
Very nicely done, man.

Dear Pat
My name is William G. Smith, I live in England, and am a retired RAF
technical teacher.
A few years ago, in order to raise funds for the local hospital, I
decided to build a miniature submarine, .  The project was very
sucessful and all the objectives were achieved.  [Image]

Although I have a web site, I have not as yet managed to get it included
in the Yahoo directory.   This is a little frustrating as it would be
great to communicate and exchange ideas with the similar minded.
Since looking through your interesting group of P-subs it occurred to me
that you may possibly allow the "Water Beatle" to be added to your list
-  with a reciprocal link of course.
Hoping that this is acceptable.
With best wishes.    Bill.
