Joe,
Yes Vancouver will be tough to
beat especially after Phil?s fantastic support. Planning is well
underway for next year?s conference to be held in Ft. Pierce, FL. Vance
is working on sourcing a barge so that we can get some open ocean saltwater
dive time. The hotel is just about finalized, we have identified outside
speakers, have tentative promises from members for additional presentations,
and started a line-up of member?s subs that will be
attending.
I give the Chinese tinkerer
credit for what he has accomplished with little available resources?he is real
lucky to be alive after at least one of his early dive
attempts.

Continuing saga of homebrewed Chinese sub
Hi
Jay,
Just happened to pop in again on you guys. I must say that
from what I've seen from "my chair here" of the Vancouver meet, that it
looks like it was the PSUBS equivalent of landing on the moon! How are you
guys going to top that one?!
The one redeeming quality of the
Chinese fellow's anemic efforts, is that it is indicative of a
much changed world. Give this guy an "A" for his audacious spirit, and
wonder what he might do with our level of opportunity and material
availability. Otherwise, if he were located here in the good ole USA, I'd
think him a
fool.
Joe
