Joe, Your boat looks great and I am sure that the finished product will be
even better knowing your high standards you work to. While Joe, points out that I may have convinced him of how little he
knew, that was not the point of our emails traded. In fact, Joe's
questions brought up how little I remembered of my ocean engineering courses
and with his help pointed me in the direction of the NA program that he had enrolled
in. Over the last year, Joe and myself have traded MANY emails on sub
design, Rhino, and our NA course work. It seems when one of us has a
question, the other either has the answer or can point to the right direction
for a solution. Looking forward to continuing our collaboration long into the future. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought
without accepting it. - Aristotle -----Original Message----- Today is one of those memorable moments since I first seriously started
looking at this as a real possibility. That very first post of mine to
the psubs list about an ambient boat, was the night Wilma hit us in
November 05, so I remember it well. I remember well Paul Kreemer and Dan H, teaching me a lesson about the realities of submersing large volumes of air. I remember well a post by Jay Jeffries in Feb of last year convincing
me of just how little I knew about this subject, that by March I had enrolled
in a serious course of study, and abandoned the ambient concept in favor of
a 1 atm design. So today, I am sufficiently satisfied with this conceptual phase of the
process, to now proceed to serious detail design of individual
components. http://www.prismnet.com/~moki/20070212.142447/AlvinXJr.jpg I have also been giving much thought as to how I would like to use the
sub, and what activities I would like to pursue into eventual retirement. To
that end, the final decals you see here will attest to Alvin Jr's environmental
conscientiousness. Thanks to all of you who leant a hand to a newbie sub plebe in that Nov
05 post, to be able to get this far.
