<div>Hank,</div>
<div>Is the cable too heavy to attach to a smaller boat? Like a rubber dingy? Then you could move the barge out of the way and float about nearby with only the lighter boat above the sub if it does come up like a rocket?</div>
<div>Just a thought.</div>

<div>Your wife, Hank. Now there's a good option, does she know how</div>
<div>to operate the ballast valves?</div>
<div>If the cable started going slack you would know the sub was</div>
<div>coming up & could get out of the way. just keep tension on the line</div>
<div>with the boat & as long as there is an angle on the cable you won't get</div>
<div>hit.</div>

<div><span>My wife, (the brains of the operation) says the same thing. I have to agree, I can send it down on the cable and bring it up on the cable. The auto pilot Alec sent me is a fantastic back up. If there is a problem with the lifting system, I will just back away and wait.</span></div>

<div>Hank,</div>

<div>What I don't like about deep water remote testing, is the fact that we are testing against the worst case scenario, a sub full of water. The good news of course being unmanned.</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>Therefore to my mind we must be prepared for that worst case scenario, meaning being in the best possible position to recover the sub. That means heavy lifting doesn't it?</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>Sending a grapple down a line requires 100% success in making contact, is that assured? I don't know I've never done it.</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>So if I had the means to send it down on a cable, that's what I think I'd do.</div>

<div>PROBLEM, now that I am getting Alec's auto pilot, I run the risk of the sub surfacing violently if it develops a leak and the water sensor tells the sub to surface. 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>
