Wow! Now that's a mouthful!

This'll be my first 'real' sub regatta, and I really hope that we'll get a load of people there.

The boat pond is perfect for small subs and is great for chatting it up while you run your boat. My Nautilus is a tad too big to run comfortably there (she's about 14" from raker top to keel), but I'll be doing a lot of surface running for sure.

Thetis is a far better place (IMHO). There's a concrete path along one side with between four and six feet of perfectly clear water right beside. This is where I learned to dive my Nautilus for the first time. There is also a large sandy beach, washrooms, and a nearby unloading area for all of your gear. A more picturesque location you will not find.

If anyone is short on accomodations, my wife and I have a spare suite in the basement that I'd be willing to share with anyone in need. Only payment that I ask is the bulk of your RC sub knowledge. We're in Langford, about twenty minutes from the boat pond and five from Thetis Lake.


Here's a shot of my Nautilus during her maiden voyage at Thetis Lake in February.
