Well, I was just curious; and I'm really not trying to start anything here;
but William Smith's WATERBEATLE is in the GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS as
the "World's smallest submarine", and I think SGT. PEPPERS might actually be
smaller.  Without going back to check, I think his was just slightly shorter
than yours (by something like two/one-hundredths of a meter or foot) but it
might be that, if height, width, and overall volume / displacement were
considered, your boat might actually be the smaller of the two.

You're coming along fast, man.

Last night Lynn and I rolled the NAUTILUS upside down in the big roller
cradle I made for it so I could  work on  the underside.  Always scary doing
that kind of thing.  If it falls.....

Just got over a phase of being so sick and tired of working on the sub that
I didn't even want to look at it for a while.  But I'm back on it now.

Do you ever get tired of working on yours?

Pat
