<div dir="auto">Hey Douglas, building a one off vessel, I understand there is sometimes a frustration with how long it can take, or your going nowhere fast. A year ago i had visions of completing the SeaQuestor for this year's event. So i set the goal, More experienced members, ie: Cliff, and Hank set me to reality. So now i set more achievable goals, and try to keep to keep the overall project moving forward in small steps. I figure if i do one thing each day, it feels more like I'm moving forward. That being said, I plan to be at the next event in March. I look forward to seeing you then, and Wyvonne plans to be ready to dive there again. <div dir="auto">David</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Jul 14, 2019, 2:32 PM Douglas Suhr via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I'm always fearful of the group here thinking that I've dropped out of PSUBS.

The process is taking longer than originally planned (due to some mods that are happening prior to re-assembly) and frankly, I don't think she'll be ready to head down to fL by next spring… but that's still what I'm going to shoot for. <div><br></div><div>Meantime though, I'm happy to help host again in Islamorada. As Jon has mentioned, perhaps March of next year would be a good time for a convention. And I'm happy to chip in financially if we want to try the barge experiment.
