[PSUBS-MAILIST] Virtual Viewports

[Antoine Delafargue via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Scott,
the sub is coming along... after it got exhibited at the Paris boat show, I
got is closer to home to avoid long week end drives and do all the
outfitting work.
Our one week long dive is planned 6-12 of August, but we still need to
finish assembly and testing.

I put most news on facebook

regards
Antoine
