want to make anyone jealous, but over the last couple of days<br>I've visited
Carsten & the Euronaut & been for a dive with Emile in the Nordic
sub.<br>Carsten is situated in Rostock, in the North East corner of Germany,
on the Baltic sea.<br>Very nice tourist destination that has tour boats
visiting.<br>Carsten took me to see Sgt Peppers & the Euronaut. There is
nothing like being there. <br>The photos & videos don't do the boats
justice. When you get inside the Euronaut you<br>can appreciate why it took 12
years to build. Carsten spent about 2 to 3 hrs answering<br>Questions &
explaining it's features. One stand out design feature was the many
beer<br>Bottle holders with Irish beer in them. I think these were the first
items he designed in<br>his CAD program & the rest of the boat evolved
around these.<br>Coincidentally Hugh, from my city Auckland, had visited the
day before.<br>Two days later I met up with Emile, who is only about 20
minutes by train from Amsterdam.<br>He has the Nordic sub moored permanently
outside a dive facility on a very picturesque little<br>Lake. I am going in to
a bit of detail here in case anyone wants to take their wife for a
holiday<br>In the Netherlands. Emile operates the submarine commercially &
the dive was certainly the<br>highlight of my trip so far. He had a lot
of control over the boat & was hovering inches above<br>Wrecks. The Nordic
sub dives slightly lite so it can move off the bottom without engaging<br>the
thrusters & so doesn't disturb the sediment.<br>It was a pleasure meeting
up with Carsten & Emile who have been helpful to me on the net<br>over the
last 4 to 5 years. Many thanks guys.<br>Regards Alan<br><br><br>Sent from my
