    Judging by video and short jaunts therein is a bit rough but there's one Nassau that looks a wee bit fast there

    Is the camera person a friend or relative of yours? They seem to periodically feel guilty about not filming the Suffren, flick back to it, and then go in search of something else again :D

    My sister took the video. She says that the video is about the Suffren and anything else is accidental extra. :p

    Sorry about the blurryness, the camera was having trouble focusing.

    No, just lost signal after the hull got full of water. I took some pretty bad hits in the first sortie, add onto that bad driving in the second sortie contributed to that sink.

    I had thought about that, but I don't really like the idea of the pump running after she's sunk. I'm planning to move the Rx to the underside of the deck and have the antenna in the SS. If I lose signal then, the boat is lost anyway. :)
