[PSUBS-MAILIST] PC2021

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

Oh, how I like the idea of a keys convention! I have a ton of things coming
this year, which due to Covid will all surely be looking at late summer or
fall, but I'll certainly prioritize attending a convention with Shackleton
and move pretty much anything around to suit if I have the ability to do
so. I'm hopeful Shackleton should now be able to take passengers on and off
in the water, but I still agree having a barge with a crane would be key
for almost any other sub. I can offer a good Zodiac as a tender, but it
isn't a tow boat.

Best,
Alec
