Further pics of my SubC in the wild....

Hi All

Further to my previous post of my SubC 'out walking'.....

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=165237

Here are some more pics. I'm in Madeira at the moment. Here they have irrigation channels called Levadas which make for ideal walking when followed from place to place. Many of these Levadas are hundreds of years old and were constructed to give precisely enough fall for the water to flow over great distances through the mountains.

I tried to place my Sub at the bottom of one of these channels but the water flow was too strong, as soon as I let go my watch shot away from me in the current, ! Anyway here's some pics
