Hi Vance. Yes, I know what you mean about Delta being simple and sturdy. I
saw it in Moss Landing, Calif. before the crew took off on their contract for
MBARI. They've got a big ship ( 110 feet ) they haul it around on.
Sure would be nice to have a support ship like that. ( and contracts to pay
for it. )
I imagine it takes a small fortune PER DAY to run something like that, and
crew pay, insurance, and all the other stuff required.
Going to Calif. ? No, I'll be staying for now but thanks for the offer. I
called this A.M. and left a voice mail for you. If you have a little time before
you leave I'd like to drive down and have lunch and a beer.
Frank D.
