I'm pretty sure that is how NOT to launch your boat.

| Isn't this the way you all carry your runabouts. The only problem here is that the truck is too small. Either that or it's a boat trying to mate with a truck. That's how you get those amphibious things. |

I don't know what it says about the truck or the boat, but it speaks volumes about the structural integrity of the light pole! TaoJones

Yep that's a damn good pole. They should have made the truck out of that material. LOL

| ![]() ReallyWantOne » Blog Archive » It’s a car Jim, but not as we know it I told Lori if I ever wanted to build/fix up a wooden boat she had my permission to whack me upside the head! This kinda project, somehow, might be something I could get away with!

[QUOTE]what these are?/[QUOTE] They look a lot like the light houses we have on the southern Chesapaeke. These are clearly military. Our light houses have a cast iron cylinder base instead of the tripod bases. We have some that the house part is brick too. They recently sold off a couple near here to private parties. I think a few went cheap but turning them into a habitable place isn't easy or cheap. Some are a few miles from land. Wolf Trap Light Wolftrap and Thimble Shoals were sold. The little structure to the right on Wolftrap is the out house. I sailed by it just last Sunday.

Move over Moby Dick. Get out of the water Jaws. There's a new monster from the deep on the radar. Get ready for...Lemmy the Lobster. Goto: What's that coming over the hill - is it a lobster, is it a lobster..? | Metro.co.uk

Hi guys! Occasionally drop by to stock up on the abundant words of wisdom here, not often found at altitude (i.e. aviation boards). These days a coupla seaplane forums occupy my spare time, but I still nurse my dream of sailing. This monster-size lobster made my day!!!
