Based upon the chatter, it sounds like Seneca Lake is an attractive 
location for a number of people.  I think it qualifies as long as there 
are conveniences and resources in the form of reasonably priced hotels, 
restaurants, and services.  July and early August (first two weeks) 
would be the best opportunity in terms of season and school commitments 
for people that have kids of school or college age.  Based upon Al's 
warning about race weekend, it looks like available dates would be July 
5-10, July 19-24, July 26-31, Aug 9-14, Aug 16-21.  I will put a "stake 
in the ground" and suggest July 26-31 because it is mid-summer and 
offers the largest buffer between two race dates which should help with 
securing reservations.  If this doesn't work for most people we can 
change it.

I hear the call for the west coast, I would also nominate the Florida 
Keys again, but in both of those cases I would expect limited attendance 
particularly for submarines because of the travel distance involved.  
For a diving convention we should pick the location that will attract 
the largest submarine attendance.  So we should collate two lists 
immediately; who will commit to bringing their submarine (either dive 
ready or static display), and who will attend which will help us confirm 
the site.

I will commit to attending Seneca with AQUATIC, minimally as a static 
display.  I will commit to attending the Florida Keys but without 
AQUATIC.  I would not be able to make it to the West Coast this year.  I 
will also take the lead in top level coordination of the event as long 
as Scott and Steve are willing to help and we can depend upon our local 
member, Al, to scope out things that we might need a set of eyes to 
inspect for us.

 From a technical topic perspective, I will commit to giving a 
presentation and demonstration of my Submarine Environment Monitor (SEM) 
project  which I expect to have completed by convention time.

I'm in almost the same situation as Jon. I can commit to taking Shackleton
to Seneca whether dive ready or as a static display. To Florida, possibly
if she's dive ready but I would like to do a depth test first before
investing in a trip of that length, and I might not have a chance to do the
test in time since it requires a trip to Seneca. I am on schedule to have
her ready by this summer, but obviously the later in the summer it is, the
better my chances. If this happens at Seneca, in my ideal scenario I'd go
there a few days early to do the test before the convention.

Thanks Jon for volunteering!

Best,

Alec

The best way to keep up to date on this information is through 
www.subdb.info which is a database of known submarines sponsored by 
PSUBS.  Submarines are categorized by type (recreational, research, 
commercial, etc) and by status (operational, renovation, museum, etc) 
and you can search the database using various parameters.  If you are a 
PSUBS member you can use your PSUBS username and password to update the 
status of your own submarine.  If your submarine is not in the database, 
submit for inclusion.  Go to www.subdb.info -> Support -> Submit a 
Submersible

There are currently 40 submarines listed as Recreational/Operational, 9 
listed as Recreational/Renovation, 14 listed as 
Recreational/Under-Construction, and 4 listed as 
Recreational/Design-Phase.  I can tell by looking at the list that it is 
not completely accurate and I need to spend some time updating it, but 
it would be better if each owner kept their own submarine updated.

Additionally, SUBDB.INFO will eventually replace the "Projects" page on 
the PSUBS website because it offers better opportunity to upload photos 
and documentation regarding your submarine.  It also allows easy web 
access to your submarine if you want to share it with someone because 
you can use the link http://www.subdb.info/<your-sub-name>   For 
example, http://www.subdb.info/aquatic will bring you directly to my 
submarine web page.

Finally, you can use subdb.info as a repository for important 
information about your submarine that might be helpful in an emergency.  
If you get stuck underwater but have documented your submarine well, we 
can go to your submarine page and look at your operating guide, check 
off lists, find out what kind of equipment you have on board, details 
about the design of your sub (for example lifting points) how much it 
weighs so we can estimate lifting bag requirements, etc, etc, etc.

Feel free to investigate AQUATIC in the database and see photos and 
documentation I have included.

Great photos Scott. I'm still amazed, what a sub! When you get her restored
I think you'll find yourself setting a psubs depth record! ~ Douglas S.
