George,
If I remember correctly, Palatka has some deep water readily available
along with the Grotto. How about the other sites you mentioned in your
later email? Will look on my Garmin charts to see if they show depths in
these locations. I appreciate all of the trouble you have went through
to compile this info.

I'll get it sent to you as soon as I get my laptop fired up.
Also there are images that you can see for water quality.
www.captovis.com/marine/rainbowspringsfl/ (Rainbow springs)
www.captovis.com/marine/silverriverfl/ (Silver River)
Not exactly the places chosen but feed the places I've scouted.

George,
I never did see the images for central Florida. Can you give me a
location and I'll look it up in satellite images.

Did you ever get those pictures of the central florida spots? I don't
think I ever got a response from those.

Hi Brent,
At this point, you need to take a number and that number is 2010.
So you have plenty of time to finish that K-250. Here's the projected
list of convention locations for the upcoming future.
2007 - Michigan
2008 - Rockland, Maine
2009 - Florida
2010 - Idaho (in January maybe?)
Since we're on the topic, I might as well let everyone know what
we're planning for 2008. In 2008, George Kittredge will be 90 years old
so we'd like to hold the convention in Maine to honor him. The date
would be set to coincide with the annual "Maine Lobster Festival"
(usually in August) which is a weekend event involving parades, merchant
setups, photo ops with King Neptune and Blackbeard the Pirate, and even a
"Sea Goddess" pagent. This is a big shindig that the Navy and Coast
Guard usually participate in as well. And of course, there is the
lobster. For more info, visit http://www.mainelobsterfestival.com
There is LOTS of water (sea water) around Rockport which should
provide ample opportunity for those wanting to dive. I'm hoping we can
get a good showing of submersibles to this event, stick George in the
conning tower of either a K-250 or K-350 that one of you owns, and then
join the parade. Afterwards it is a perfect opportunity to set up for
static display and show off your subs to the public. This is not a small
event, so I expect lots of curious onlookers. Probably in the fall of
2007 I am planning on approaching the organizers of the festival to
suggest they consider in someway incorporating a tribute to George as
part of the festivities. If we get enough PSUBBER participation, we may
be able to convince the Mayor to proclaim one day as "George Kittredge
Day"? That would be fun. Also, the event sounds like it would make an
excellent "family" vacation for those of you who normally miss your wives
(cough...cough...) at our regular conventions, or want to bring your kids
for a fun time. You will see by visiting the festival website that there
are plenty of events and fun for all ages.
Jon

How many PSUBers do we need again, to have a convention here in
north Idaho?? Ya know the lakes here are amazing and we might be able to
go down to Bayview, Idaho and see some navy subs if we ask nicely. Like I
said before I'll make a handmade pair of snow shoes for any PSUBer that
moves up here. So Joe, aren't you tired of all that hot muggy weather
and the hurricanes yet??? You could bring Jay with ya. We'll make room
for him and he can keep working for the Navy at Bayview. : )' You would
fit in like a quill in a porcupine. What can I say, I'm a submarine half
full kind of guy.
