Jim, If you wouldn't mind, I would like to see to pics of that pen in action.
And also, taking a straw poll, Who would be interested in a limited edition (numbered!) SubSim pen? Cost would be around $40-$50 US per pen, with the majority of the proceeds going to Onkel Neal. After the shipping debacle I had with Jim's pen, I think if we get some folks in each region to re-ship to fellow subsimmer's on each continent, we can really knock down the cost of shipping. I don't have a specific design in mind yet, but I'm hoping Torplexed and maybe some of other graphically gifted skippers can all contribute to the design?
It would most likely be of this style:
But instead of the foil wrap, it would be a community designed print, numbered, and then cast in acrylic and hand turned to fit the pen.
