Isn't it neat the way the disabled parking spots are located in the rock fall zone

Maybe the signs are just there to warn you what can happen to you if you park there....

I miss Par. Every time I see a completely ****** up boat like that I think of him
The old gal who owns it says it isn't for sale; she and her husband are planning to restore it and start using it again.

Never mind the boat; I covet the trailer under it. And it looks like someone else did more than just covet; the Perkins diesel is missing from it.

Ssshhh...but "He's in the backyard boats website..PAR that is..he's been a main contributor for them for awhile I think...I might say Hi...next time I'm on that site...I'll tell him we miss him badly...every time I screw up on my project I can almost hear him in my head telling me that he wouldn't use my boat even for bathtub if he was a yukon trapper that hadn't bathed in a month and ran across my boat..all steaming and full of hot water...or something like that...like he wouldn't even fart in it it's such a rotten tub...that his farts are only fit for real bath-tubs and the like...so on and so forth...Oh wait..that's just my own negativity being deflected and into another's persona taking on a disapproving father figure...role...wow...boatbuilding is great therapy...I love messing with boats...sorry..that was a bit off-topic...

P.S- Her's a nice pic of a wreck in the Exumas, Bahamas....summer's coming everyone...

Those two guys are now 8 years old and still talk about 'going back to that place with the old boat'. Nice...............

It looks like a spring/clockwork drive and direction/balance is being adjusted by positioning the depth of the foils by the four posts?

Looks like an effective experimental/learning platform...
