    drive out to Vancouver and visit Dr Nuytten  and see all the wonderful

<div>Thank you Dr Nuytten.</div>

<div>I plan to haul my barge to Slocan lake where the water depth is 970 
    feet in a week or so.  I will lower Gamma with a steel cable and 
    retrieve it 1hr later.  I would like a back up, some way for a timer to 
    tell Gamma it is time to come home.  Any ideas would help, I have never 
    tried putting a backup together.</div>
