Saturday I drive out to Slocan Lake, then at 6 am Sunday morning I will be on the lake towing Elementary 3000 to the deepest spot, 980 feet. I will let her sink to the bottom on a rope and let it sit for one hr. Maybe I should bring a fishing rod for the wait ;-) Actually I will lift the sub a few feet often to see if it is getting heavier. Hopefully it will be a success and I will pull her up and tow her home. I can start diving her after all that, and in the fall I will haul her to Burnaby BC for the pressure pot test to 4,700 feet. I would do it now but I am unemployed still ;-(</div><span class="yiv5568351437HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"></font></span><div dir="ltr">Hank </div></div></div></div><br clear="none" />_______________________________________________<br clear="none" />
