    I was skeptical about finding a piece of water to operate my sub. Been driving by this place for years, stopped today and really surprised to find people running RC boats. No subs today but there is one guy that has a sub. One guy even has his rescue boat. Now I really got the bug. Visibility is near zero, looks like ink.

          Ink? Phhhht...that ain't nothing.

          A walk in the park.

          Periscope Depth is your friend.

          Phoenix huh? Looks like a great running pond for a Regatta.

              Looks like a holding lagoon.

                  Those scopes are my 1:48 DeBoer USS SHARK as it's passing close beneath Ray Mason's 1:72 ALFA, Bowne Park, Flushing (Queens) NY.

                  I can, and do, run in anything.

                  Especially where others fear to go....
