[PSUBS-MAILIST] PC2023

 All good picks.
Michigan.  Bernie hasn't invited us back yet but that was probably the best infrastructure support we ever had.  I don't think we wanted for anything.  We would definitely need more surface support if we go anywhere off-shore.
Tahoe.   I really enjoyed this location as well and it had nice clear water.  Infrastructure was a little lacking however, Cliff I remember you traveling quite a distance to find a dive shop to fill tanks and I also recall getting into the water at some locations was a bit expensive.  Lacking a sponsor like the University I think we would have to investigate renting a "compound" that has enough land and utilities to support refreshing the subs every night.
Islamorada.  An ocean experience would be nice again.  Without the Suhr's property, launchings would be more difficult and we'd either have to use public launches or commercial boat yard.  Tows would be required to get any place interesting to dive.  Plenty of infrastructure otherwise.

  I would be up for towing the R300 to either Islamorada Fl or Petoskey MI again.  While Lake Charlevoix was great, I for one would like to dive in Lake Michigan as well.  I could not believe how clear the water was in Lake Michigan off Charlevoix during PEX2022.
One other thought.  Lake Tahoe would be a great location for an expedition.  We have not been there since Innerspace Science.org expedition in 2018.  Key would be to finding someone in area to host. Not sure University of Davis would do it again without InnerspaceScience.org link.

 I'd be down for one trip to the keys and one to Bernie's! While ocean dives are obviously very attractive, we did have several boats (including mine) that were still in shakedown mode. For those, the logistics at a lake are way more forgiving.

 I would like to see go back to Islamorada Florida for an expedition in 2023.  Maybe we could get the Suhr's to let us use their house as a staging area again.
