Squadron mates,
Today’s run was something of a mixed bag: murky water from recent rain runoff; temps so cold boat trims were severely affected, preventing safe dives; plenty of marine growth to foul props; even Will’s usually flawless boat exhibiting mysterious problems (later found to be a loose radio antenna)—but at least no boats were lost!
A quick agreement was just made for our next full squadron run to take place on April 29th—so mark those calendars. Also, more runs are likely in May and/or June (dates TBA). Finally, those who aren’t mid-summer traveling, please also plan to join us on July 15: currently the local chapter of the USSVI national submarine veterans organization is planning a picnic in our park that day, and it would be fun to put on an r/c sub demonstration for them.
More later as further dates develop,
Jeff
