In an effort to begin planning for this we'd like to get some feedback from the group.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Location: Lake Charlevoix, Charlevoix Michigan</div><div dir="ltr">Primary Purpose: Submarine Diving Expedition</div><div dir="ltr">Primary Dive: Keuka Shipwreck</div><div dir="ltr">Infrastructure: Private marina with boat hoist, public boat launch, hotels, restaurants.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">The primary dive target Keuka is a 130 foot long, 30 foot beam, barge that sits in 45 feet of water but with topsides only 17 feet below the surface. It promises to be a good shallow water dive accessible to most PSUBS type submarines, even ambient models.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">The infrastructure in Charlevoix looks very good with a private marina having boat hoist capabilities as well as a public boat launch for those that can launch/recover directly off their trailers. Hotels, restaurants, and private house rentals are available. It also looks like SCUBA and surface boat support will be feasible. Duration will likely be 3-5 days with dive briefing/debriefing daily. It looks like a good opportunity to get numerous vessels in the water for diving, photo ops, and testing. We can even hold a public display like we have in the past.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">To help in planning this, please respond to the following:</div><div dir="ltr"> 1) Would you attend this event?</div><div dir="ltr"> 2) Would you bring your submarine?</div><div dir="ltr"> 3) Which dates would be best? Would memorial day weekend be acceptable?</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">See references below:</div><div dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ6Up5S-ISQ" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ6Up5S-ISQ</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOXVCNq-DjQ&t=359s" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOXVCNq-DjQ&t=359s</a></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/mrbis/BASDetail.aspx?basid=A-15-023" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/mrbis/BASDetail.aspx?basid=A-15-023</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
