I'm sure it could be done well given the proper leadership and organization though, especially considering the diverse skillset we would share as a team from designing to fabrication.

I must admit I was rather unaware of the ISR event until "snooping" through some of Alec's videos. I'm quite intrigued and may well attend this coming year's event regardless of what is decided as a group.

<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>
