If I have my steel barge above Gamma there could be a very serious collision. The other option is to forget the barge and send Gamma down with a rope attached as a locator and a way to slide a cable down to retrieve it. The rope only needs a rubber float to locate it. I would put a second auto pilot in that relies on a battery going dead to make it surface with a separate hp source.</div><div>What to do hmmm</div><div>The other option is use the auto pilot from Alec without the water sensor and have the barge over Gamma with the cable between. Then there is a safety if the cable fell off or what
ever, and if the sub fills with water I can winch it up. </div><div>Hmm , what do you guys think.</div><div>Hank</div></div></body></html>
