[PSUBS-MAILIST] Keith Gordon, diving Niagra

[k6fee via Personal_Submersibles]

Trust me as a former yacht owner, fuel  is the cheapest cost.
1. (A) staff, captain, etc.
    (B) maintenance, paint, repairs, yard fees, equipment repair/ upgrades, etc.
2. Insurance 
3. Berthing
4. Fuel
And the bigger the boat the more $$$$ it costs.

Ian,this is the boat.https://vimeo.com/279022294Registered in the Marshall Islands, but I haven't been able to find out who owns it.It may be a support vessel for the Rocinate, owned by Billionaire Emilio Fernando Azcárraga Jean III.Alan

It would certainly be nice to have a super yacht for transporting subs!Wish I could afford $300(usd) per mile fuel bill.....

If you click on the "deck plans" you can see the sub on the port side around the other vessels the super yacht carries:

Cheers,  Ian.

Hank,we used to have the Antipodes operating commercially as a tourist sub butnow I only know of two possible operational submersibles. One is Hugh's Com sub, however he said he had a buyer a while back, the otherbelonged to a guy called Graeme Hart who kept it on his Super yacht; but thatwas up for sale. There could well be none as the navy doesn't have any!I better get my ambient back up & running! It's a hard grind down here! If you mention submarine you may as well be sayingUFO.Alan

                Brian, thanks.Although the Orca can dive to 800ft they usually don't dive beyond 300ft.Ingrid is interested in observing them at a couple of sea mounts that theyfrequent to see what they are feeding on. Most of the time in NZ they are spotted moving in & out of harbours feeding.In NZ & nowhere else they have developed a taste for stingray liver, so areheading in to the shallows extracting the livers & throwing the rest away.When they are on the move it would be difficult to anticipate where they wereheading & then put a submersible in their path. I spent some time recentlywith an inflatable in tow trying to intercept a group of 10.Our smaller submersibles would certainly be easier & quicker to get into position than something like a Triton submersible.Alan
