new ice diving challenge

[Terry]

                        You guys do make me smile,,,,, I remember how impressed I was with John's mathematical model, and his calculation of close to 30 miles traversed under the ice by you two, and to figure his circumferences to the "half a foot", (curious, was that figured from the center of the hole, or from the leading edge, cause maybe you could claim more square footage covered that way, any stretch,,,, well, poly doesn't stretch much, any bow in the line, (we have had some) or were you pulling taught the whole swim?) Well, how close the stated model is to reality, only you two guys know, sure does sound impressive though.
                        If, for a fact (an average schmuck  :-*) like John, can swim 3300' on the, bottom, pulling a line perpendicular, to his movement (on an 80 cf cylinder). Should be easy enough to verify Johns numbers, especially since we'll be just under the ice, not the bottom, and pulling the line parallel to our movement, not perpendicular. Sounds like a good spot to start.
                        I appreciate you guys concern for our safety, and I'm sure Isanti Co. regrets not keeping you two funded, but we'll go forward with this, to me it sounds like a good adventure. I've been icing more then 3 decades, and anyone who jumps with me and feels that their personal saftey was not kept front and center, should speak up.
                        You guys enjoy the warm water!                                                Trinity
