Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Mad Pirate Shin on the loose

Mark and all,

The 'Mad Pirate' was an attempt at a playful handle. I don't particularly care that much for the government, but I have no plans to add torpedoes to my mini-sub.

I would like to begin construction on my own sub within the next five years, but I have a lot to do before then. My first love was outer space, but the oceans hold the same allure with easier access. Right now, I'd like to see a real sub in person to get a feel for what I'm in for with this project.

At the moment, I live in Tennessee, but am planning to move to the coast in the spring. The PSubs convention is an opportunity for me to see the Pacific coastline, as well as a good excuse for a road trip.

If you know of any PSubs in the lower 48, or any submarine related attractions, please let me know. I would really be thrilled if someone were to invite me for a tour of their PSub. I will probably be traveling by way of I-40 or I-10. I have traveled both in the past and although I-40 is prettier either route is fine by me. I'll have plenty of time for side-trips, so all suggestions are welcome.

Shin

Hi,

Mad Pirate Shin is coming to the Convention via the Sothern route from
Tennessee to Oregon. Are there any PSUBers he can stop by and visit?

Speak up. You can reply to him directly at psub_only_temporary@hotmail.com
if you prefer to keep your address off the list.

Thanks,
Ray
