Another incredible event put on by Nautilus Drydocks, members, and volunteers. The event had a ton of new people and was at times pretty crowded in the pavilions, Met a ton of new people that are planning to join our group. We had 3 awesome days of driving with some rain starting Friday night and Saturday was a blow out, so we did other things. The water clarity, as it was the beginning of the season was very clear and some great underwater videos are forth-coming. I downloaded about 23 g's to Ken and I think Bob said he had a total of around 80 g's of material, so for those that didn't make it, video is coming. There were also interviews done so you'll see a lot of new faces. Being at the beginning of the season, there were a lot of benefits not only in water clarity, but in service from the facilities as they are gearing up for the season, and not about to shut down for the season. To me, it's a benefit moving to this side of the season as you hit the Spring dry season, the Fall has one, but down South you're playing roulette with the hurricane season of September and October. Anyway, lots of engineering marvels to see. Wonderful Vaughn was totally in your face with his torpedo and Seehund, but if you didn't catch this one very quiet character named Kirk and his mechanical torpedo and Type VII, you really missed something...or you didn't get your brain melted :) Everyone else had a slew of over the top great stuff. There were two sharks there this time and made it even better. My Nautilus ran great, but...got stuck down in the bottom of the pool in the weeds. Luckily, our resident underwater hero Nathan sprung into action and saved it. I'm still digesting it all. Here's some photos of each day. I took a lot of video and gave those also to Ken. Every time I turned around I thought about getting some more for the people who can't attend. I wish these events were twice a year. Great place, great people, and awesome facility.
