[PSUBS-MAILIST] PC2020

Hey Douglas, building a one off vessel, I understand there is sometimes a
frustration with how long it can take, or your going nowhere fast.  A year
ago i had visions of completing the SeaQuestor for this year's event.  So i
set the goal,  More experienced members, ie: Cliff, and Hank set me to
reality. So now i set more achievable goals, and try to keep to keep the
overall project moving forward in small steps. I figure if i do one thing
each day, it feels more like I'm moving forward.  That being said, I plan
to be at the next event in March. I look forward to seeing you then,  and
Wyvonne plans to be ready to dive there again.
