I can see if I'm going to get you guys out to my neck of the woods it will have to be very enticing ! I don't think you guys realize how good it can be out here. Granted you usually have to be out at the islands to get the killer clear water but not always. Santa Barbara can be very good as far a visibility in the fall. I would like to try and do something, maybe by 2016 or 17. I was thinking of a Submarine Rodeo. This would be an event that would challenge everyone's sub to complete various tasks, like picking up certain objects, maybe rescuing another sub, negotiating an obstacle course and so forth. I can see I'll have to have some type of platform or barge to pick up subs out of the water, since most psubs have very little freeboard and there is the danger of swamping. It would be nice if the event could generate money, some of the money could go to a scholarship to the Santa Barbara Marine Tech dept. possibly, but if there was some extra money generated maybe that could differ some of the travel costs to get the subs out here ( I know , I'm dreaming !) But maybe with some sponsors who knows ? The kelp forests out at Catalina and the other Channel Island are just amazing ! </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian <BR><BR>--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<BR><BR>From: via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>To: "psubs" <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Psubs Conference 2015<BR>Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2014 13:19:29 -0700<BR><BR></DIV><SPAN style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Hey guys,</DIV>
<DIV>Wanted to give everyone a update on the next psubs convention. At this years conference in Vancouver / Washington we had a discussion of where everyone wanted to go. The following is in order what we came up with</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>First choice) Woods Hole, Massachusetts (See Alvin and Deep sea challenger)</DIV>
<DIV>Scond choice) Manned power submarine races (Our biggest potential for new members)</DIV>
<DIV>Third choice) Florida Keys (Dive on the USS Vandenburg)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dan Lance and Steve McQueen are helping to figure out if the first two choices would work. More info about next years conference will come out soon.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Scott Waters</DIV></SPAN>
