BELLINGHAM-VANCOUVER  SESSION SCHEDULE 
at 
Best  Western Plus, Lakeway Inn and Convention Center 
714  Lakeway Drive, Bellingham, WA 98229.  Phone 360-671-1011   
http://www.thelakewayinn.com/   The hotel will provide vouchers for  
breakfast each morning in the hotel café upon check-in. 
PSUBS convention registration is  available at 
http://psubs.org/convention/2014/   
Thursday,  August 21st:  Meet & Greet beginning at 4:00 in  Poppe’s Pub 
within Lakeway Inn & Conference Center.  Appetizers provided by PSUBS; 
attendees  are responsible for their own drinks.  At the Muskegon convention the 
Meet & Greet morphed into dinner at  the same location.  I expect the  same at 
Bellingham. 
Friday,  August 22nd:  Breakfast by order at The Oboe Café  within Lakeway 
Inn.  Dive day.  The start and stop times for dive  operations are dependent 
on the weather.  We also have a meeting room available at  our hotel for 
tech sessions to the extent time allows.  The tech sessions will fit in before 
 and/or after dive operations and will focus on updates by sub builders and 
open  forum Q&A.   Dinner at a restaurant within walking  distance of 
Lakeway Inn.   
Saturday,  August 23rd:  Breakfast at The Oboe Café.  Depart no later than 
8:30 a.m. for  Nuytco Research, Ltd. at 216 East Esplanade, North Vancouver, 
BC.  Our time at Nuytco is scheduled from  10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. with 
lunch at a pub nearby at each member’s expense.  This is our mega-tech session 
for the  conference.  This is a fantastic  opportunity for an up-close look 
at the latest technology and systems at  Nuytco’s expanded facility.

Extra  event:  The  Vancouver Aquarium and Marine Science Center is 
directly on our route and about  15 minutes away when we depart Nuytco.  We have 
the opportunity to tour it until it closes at 6:00 sharp.  
http://www.vanaqua.org/   Bellingham is one hour south of the  Vancouver Aquarium.  The group 
(as  well as individuals) can decide to then have dinner at Whitespot Café in 
 Vancouver, have dinner in Bellingham at a restaurant within walking 
distance of  Lakeway Inn, or opt out of the visit to the Aquarium. 
Sunday,  August 24th:  Breakfast at The Oboe Cafe.  Checkout time is 12:00 
noon.  Many will be departing at various times that morning.  Some attendees 
are planning to stay over  for an extra day.  For those who are  interested 
we can have a meeting room after breakfast for an open session and  Q&A. 
At  the Muskegon convention our original dive day got rained out, and we 
held the  dive day on Sunday instead.  A large  number of attendees checked 
out of the hotel but delayed their departures until  later in the day.  Some 
had earlier  flights and had to leave as scheduled.  We have scheduled 
Bellingham at the driest time of the year, however we  are making every effort to 
be ready to flex the schedule in response to  weather.  One thing that will 
not  vary is the Saturday session at Nuytco.  We all owe Phil a great debt 
of thanks and appreciation for hosting this  day-long event.
