[PSUBS-MAILIST] 2020 Psub Convention

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

I can see an Annapolis convention as a mainly presentation convention, with
a day to kick sub tires and if people want some next-to-the-dock dives. For
those wanting to get more involved in dive operations, there should also be
the possibility of tagging along in Maine or in the prep dives leading up
to that, but those are different animals in that I don't think there would
be time for presentations. For my part, Shackleton has given me a number of
presentation topics I could contribute. And then there's also new one
coming together right now. I'm mid way through building a manipulator arm
based on Hank's design. Hank provided photos and advice, and I'm producing
things like drawings and parts list, and trying to tweak things to make it
wasy to build. This will become a PSUBS open source manipulator.

Best,
Alec
