The new dive boat is finished and the maiden voyage…

To start with, I finally had to move from the marina again…  Another incident, but the final one…  A friend came to my aid and I stayed behind his home on the river for a few weeks to finish up the boat.

He has an amazing view…

Just finishing up…

Starting to look like a real dive boat.

I moved the boat down to a place with dry storage and set it there for long term storage.  After driving the boat for 7 hours, when I get back, I will rebuild the motor and pump up the horsepower from 160 hp to 225 hp.  I think it needs it to achieve better speed.  I also need to replace the propeller…

Now, I’m off to Philadelphia, where I will be eating macaroni and cheese and writing code till the late hours of the morning.  I need to finish up the online booking software.  I also need to write a couple of other programs, so that I have a second income source and don’t have to depend entirely upon the dive boat.  That way, I can use the dive boat for myself and get some underwater photos and video.

DEMA show and a short breather…

Filed under: Photography,landscape — Capn Scott @ 8:52 am

Went to the DEMA (dive equipment marketing association) show.  Was showing off some of the new software ideas and talking to people about the new booking software.  Got some great input…

Stopped along the way home and took a day off and got some pics…

I thought these sunrises were a bit inspirational and would make a good background for something…

Nice little breather and great responses…  Now, back to finishing up the boat…
