 Oh, how I like the idea of a keys convention! I have a ton of things coming this year, which due to Covid will all surely be looking at late summer or fall, but I'll certainly prioritize attending a convention with Shackleton and move pretty much anything around to suit if I have the ability to do so. I'm hopeful Shackleton should now be able to take passengers on and off in the water, but I still agree having a barge with a crane would be key for almost any other sub. I can offer a good Zodiac as a tender, but it isn't a tow boat.
Best,Alec

 David, the wreck dive we discussed is the USS Oriskany.  It is about 20 miles south of Pensacola Florida in about 200 ft of water so out for as a possible dive location for PC2021.  Wow, California to the Keys with a sub, I thought Texas to the Keys was long!  How are you planning to transport the sub?
Jon, I like October for PC2021.  Last couple of summer Psub conventions have been very hot during on tows.  It also gives more time for getting the Covid 19 under control.  I like the idea of splitting the cost to rent a barge that we could load out a sub and tow to a dive site over a wreck. It would be great if the Suhr's could host again.  Doug's Boston Whaler was terrific as tender and their place was an absolutely perfect base.  (No pressure Doug)
I would like to see us plan an excursion to Triton subs in Sebastian, Florida.

Discussion related to PSUBS 2021 convention.
I'm thinking late summer or fall.  I would really like to have it in the spring but I don't think any of us know how far along covid vaccinations will be by March or April and because of that it seems like a tight timeline.
I'm open to any location, Islamorada Florida has been suggested.  Considering the above date considerations, I would suggest October.  Can we meet here in summer?  Yes, but it will be hot.  Water temps will be high 80's to low 90's which means high cabin temps in any submarines that are diving.  For those flying, Ft. Lauderdale is two hours by car, Miami is 1.5 hours by car.  Recommend flying in/out on weekend if possible, weekday commuting traffic can be heavy.
Diving.We can rent boats for surface support if necessary but I'm sure rentals will not allow towing submarines.  We will need a solution for bringing subs to destination dive spots.  Perhaps we should try to hook up with a scuba/snorkel charter at one of the reefs which would provide for some interesting photos.  We could also check with University of Miami to see if they are interested in some kind of expedition.
Speakers.I think we've got plenty of material available from numerous psubbers so filling time slots won't be a problem.
Please feel free to contribute to the discussion.
