Alan,<BR>We took lots of pictures, I am trying to figure out this stupid
windows 8.1 :-) I will post them when my wife takes pitty on me and helps me.
<BR>I must say, and I am sure Scott will agree, I will never get over the
feeling that depth means nothing in a sub. One minute your looking at
the surface the next your 50 feet down looking at weeds and fish, and it feels
the same. Very neat
feeling.<BR>Hank<BR>--------------------------------------------<BR>On Tue,

<BR>Today I took Gamma to Premier Lake and did several<BR>dives.
I reached 50 feet on the second dive and my<BR>employee took it out for a 20
foot dive. <BR>The hatch was leaking on the first dive until I got down
to<BR>20 feet or so. Never leaked after that. No other<BR>leaks at
all.<BR>ACQ's are amazing and clear as a bell. I hit the<BR>bottom a
bunch of times until I figured it out. <BR>The rudder is<BR> very
effective and the sub is quite speedy going forward<BR>and poor in
reverse. Acceleration is modest but it<BR>gets going quite well.<BR>The
launch cart worked quite well but was a bit problematic<BR>because it floats
:-) <BR>I have a small noise to trace from the magnetic drive<BR>coupler
area.<BR>All in all a success <BR>Hank
