Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Miscellanous ideas

[Coalbunny <coalbunny@vcn.com>]

I have wondered about colliding with surface craft.  What could be done
to prevent that?  Then I came up with an idea- music.  In particular,
rock and roll (my favorite) or even that sleepy elevator music.  While I
would be looking for fish (I like fish), I'm figuring that if a surface
craft can't hear that underwater music, then I outta be able to hear
them.
