I will have the barge out there permanently this summer. I am working out there a lot now so I am making contacts. I brought Gamma across the border with no trouble. Canada is much easier on us than the US. If you like you can go cross country to Montana then cross at Eureka. I was there yesterday to pick up my AGM's and the Canada border guy said 'hey your the submarine guy" lol I can meet you there and we can head to Slocan from there. If you have any trouble at the border, I will be there to help. You really just need proof it is your sub. You can pick Vance up on the way, :-) You can head to Nuyco from there and see the all the wonderful DW's Maybe you can sell a store and go home with a DW, :-)<br>Canada is a very safe place to travel with your trailer, we are not as anal. Just cover the sub with a good tarp and your set. <br>I would be available any time in August. I am booked for work after that. <br>Hank<br>--------------------------------------------<br>On Sat, 5/24/14, swaters via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br><br> Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Depth Test<br> To: "Personal Submersibles General Discussion" <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br> Received: Saturday, May 24, 2014, 12:47 PM<br> <br> Hank,Is<br> there any special regulations if I were to tow my sub across<br> the border?

Being able to test right off the<br> boat<br> ramp is pretty desireable. The fastest I can tow is 4<br> mph,<br> but that is in calm circumstances. If it is wavy like<br> the<br> ocean, or great lakes can be, that would be very<br> rought<br> several hour tow. Unless someone has a working class<br> boat<br> with a crane they would loan me?<br> Hehe.Thanks,Scott Waters<br> <br> <br> <br> Sent<br> from my U.S. Cellular© Smartphone <br> "kocpnt tds.net via Personal_Submersibles"<br> <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br> Hi Scott,<br> Out of Kewaunee you can get 450 feet in about 11<br> miles!<br> Best Regards,<br> Jim K<br> <br> <br> On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 8:40 PM, swaters via<br> Personal_Submersibles<br> <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br> wrote:<br> <br> Yes.
