If this person has all of our email addresses, he must certainly have the list address, right? Why not just start a topic on sub rides? Karl Stanley comes to mind right away... he's the only guy I know offering rides full-time. Snoopy is definitely not up to the chore at the moment, considering that she is still torn down for overhaul. We got hit by a house fire in the fall, and I'm right in the middle of building an airplane, so it'll be a while before she is operational again. Good news though: now that I'm operating out of an executive jet hangar, I have more than enough room for a 'Snoopy section' next to the airplane build! With a 28 foot ceiling I can finally afford to build my gantry higher... this'll make lifting her up SO much easier. ~ Doug </div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 13, 2020 at 4:47 PM Al Secor via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div><div dir="ltr">Legally, just like with a regular boat, to do it for money would require you have a Coast Guard's captain's license.

I don't know this person. I think I'll suggest he wait until the
airplanes are flying again and ride on a tourist submarine at a
tropical island.<br clear="none">
