Bonjour, mon ami.  To save space on Ray's website, I'm going to SNIP the
rest of your message and cut to the end, but it was a great read.  Thanks
for the insight!

You're right.  Over here we have boats that can tow us to remote dive sites,
but accessing our little sub from a small boat at sea looks mighty chancy,
especially if conditions change.  I want to build some detachable pontoons
for the trailer that will enable it to operate like the LRT.  This won't be
until at least next year, but it sure sounds worth doing.
