Alan,<BR clear=none>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 clear=none>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 clear=none>Hank<BR

clear=none> <BR clear=none>Today I took Gamma to
Premier Lake and did several<BR clear=none>dives. I reached 50
feet on the second dive and my<BR clear=none>employee took it out for a
20 foot dive. <BR clear=none>The hatch was leaking on the first
dive until I got down to<BR clear=none>20 feet or so. Never leaked
after that. No other<BR clear=none>leaks at all.<BR
clear=none>ACQ's are amazing and clear as a bell. I hit the<BR
clear=none>bottom a bunch of times until I figured it out. <BR
clear=none>The rudder is<BR clear=none> very effective and the sub
is quite speedy going forward<BR clear=none>and poor in reverse.
Acceleration is modest but it<BR clear=none>gets going quite well.<BR
clear=none>The launch cart worked quite well but was a bit
problematic<BR clear=none>because it floats :-) <BR clear=none>I have a
small noise to trace from the magnetic drive<BR clear=none>coupler
area.<BR clear=none>All in all a success <BR clear=none>Hank <BR
