[PSUBS-MAILIST] PEX2022

Wed Oct 20 22:49:37 EDT 2021

After quite the hiatus I'm really itching to get back into some sub ops. I
will tentatively commit to attending, but probably not with Snoopy... still
working on her rebuild. I do have a new asset though... inflatable boat I
can bring as tender (if needed). ~ Doug Suhr
