Bill Suitor flies the RB 2000 out over the water. This leaves a trail of blasted water which looks great in still shots!

Nice link, Charlie. Interesting project.
What amazes me is the amount of items to be carried aboard. Would it be enough space for all of them? (See the page "About the boat WITHIN" at Greg's site. Not possible to link directly to it).
Another question arises about the impossibility of standing for 40+ days. Even if the boat is ballasted, I doubt it can be done. How this will affect Greg's health?
Cheers.

Quote:
Three soft ballast tanks will be used to trim the boat while submerged. One at the rear and two more at the front, just behind the cabin wall. Ballast tanks are simply containers that can store air or water in order to increase or decrease lift. Soft ballast simply means that bottom of the container is open to the water, so that the air inside the container is being compressed.

The photo of the two surfers and mulitiple dolphins is NOT my photograph.The first one, with the single dolphin and single surfer is my image. Sorry for any confusion, but I have never claimed the 2nd photograph as my own.

Who says rugby is a rough and violent game.

Nonsense!

These blokes seem to be enjoying themselves – although there are some hands where they shouldn’t be.

Another for Kach

Don't know if this is new or old. Maybe Kach knows what it is.

Random picture thread

It's a highy modified Messerschmitt (bubble car). I owned one (standard model) in my youth. Two seater - passenger in the rear, handle-bar steering, handle-bar clutch and gear change - originally 350cc (500cc 'deluxe') engine. Hot as hell in the summer.
