[PSUBS-MAILIST] PC2020

Sun Jul 14 17:31:48 EDT 2019

I'm always fearful of the group here thinking that I've dropped out of
PSUBS. Not so, but just like the rest of you folks, I lead a busy life
packed with more than I can handle. Snoopy is currently torn down and in
the middle of an overhaul. The process is taking longer than originally
planned (due to some mods that are happening prior to re-assembly) and
frankly, I don't think she'll be ready to head down to fL by next spring…
but that's still what I'm going to shoot for.

Meantime though, I'm happy to help host again in Islamorada. As Jon has
mentioned, perhaps March of next year would be a good time for a
convention. And I'm happy to chip in financially if we want to try the
barge experiment. The 25 foot whaler is also available as a support / tow
vessel. ~ Doug
