 Excellent!  It is time for the next Psub convention and having been to the previous Psub conventions in Islamorada, I can say the venue is magnificent.  I am in.  I agree we need some kind of barge to cut the tow time to deep water.  Jon we might be able to reduce the cost for day rental on barge with a crane if we find one that is not self powered but would be towed by Doug Suhr's Boston Whaler if he would agree.  I like the idea also of having presentations.  I always got a lot out of these Psub convention presentations.  Also we have a lot boat that are nearing completion that might be enticed to participate : yours, Steve McQueen's, Alec Symth's.  Also Brian Hughes should have Harold back together by then and of course, it would not be a proper Islamorada convention with out Doug Suhr's Snoopy.
Lets make this happen.

 It's been a while since we held a PSUBS convention.  After talking to a couple of people who have expressed interest in such event, I'm suggesting Islamorada (Florida Keys) in late March 2020 as a target location/date.  Exact date to be determined, but could be any time between January and May.  The only major holiday I am aware of is Easter which falls on April 12, 2020.  Our rationale is that we have good resources and services in this location, both air and water are warm, underwater visibility is typically good, and it's a vacation destination if you want to bring family or extend your stay to visit Key West, Everglades, Miami Beach, or other activities.
This event would include diving and presentations such as updates on submarine fabrication and reports on activities such as the Lake Tahoe and Flathead Lake expeditions.  I've located at least one barge that can provide surface transport and support for 2-3 submarines and bring them to a 200-300 foot diving location.
We can consider other location alternatives, however the requirements for such suggestions are resources, services, and support including hotels, restaurants, dive shops, water ingress, and your ability to act as coordinator for that alternative location.
Discussion?
Jon
