To unlock the latent energy bound into the wake and propel the boat (ala Questor), I presume?

 

damned good idea if you ask me

instead of rowing why don't you lean over the side and slap the water with the ore?

 

Here's a nice video. It's a MONO though... Ok a video is just a lot of pictures.

Roll Over Mercedes

Car Roll
You have to love those guys from Mercedes! Just having a little fun....

If you have ever rolled a car, or have never rolled a car, or would like to roll a car ..... this is how to do it.

Apparently, the stretch of highway where this ad was filmed was in BC in the Fraser Canyon.

For those in the lower 48, the Tunnel is China Bar on Hwy 1 just 5 miles south of Boston Bar.

The car is a Mercedes Gull Wing. You can't do this in a Toyota Prius or a Smart Car!!!!!!

I hope you have external speakers on your computer.​

TURN UP THE SOUND and hang on :!: ​

I go fishing in that area all the time,going there tomorrow.
25 million sockeye salmon going past....

If you pause @ 2:06 when he goes into the tunnel,above and left from the entrance you can see a small slide.
Until a few years ago you could walk up there and walk through the original old rough one lane tunnel before they plugged the entrance.

The footage after the supposed roll where he's driving along is Duffy Lake-north of Whistler.

I guess thats why Schumacher was in town last summer...

 

Cats on a boat ....
Who ever said cats dont like water is mistaken !

Err the boat being in a garage has nothing to do with it ...

 

Ours venture out on the boat with us although the fat Orange boy took off to a trailer park last time. It took us 4-1/2 months to get him back.

 

Hehe these are some nice pics mate !!

On the subject of cats, this cat ran into my dog when we where having a nice walk ....
The cat jumped panicked and climbed the palm tree in 0.2 secs and hung there for a good 20 mins ...

Laughed so hard had to sit down to catch my breath ... was something out of Tom and Jerry cartoon ...

P.S No cats where harmed in the taking of this picture .... the cat made it down safely

 

Here's my Captain. Mack-a-Pousse the cat. Mack's favorite game when sailing is to throw herself from one side of the boat to the other as it goes over a wave. We actually had to close her in the v birth when it would get ruff because I swear she'd eventually kill herself. That cat just loved the sailing life and is ready to get back at it.

I think there is enough proof in here to say cats love sailing !!

Ok one last cat pic

Another cat found my tissue paper very amusing .... and proceeded to perform some rather interesting acrobatic moves to reach it ...

 

I was out paddling my canoe yesterday and pulled over to the bank to answer some questions from a guy walking his dog (one of the problems you run into with a wooden boat), and his dog jumped into the boat! I've never had a cat do that!

 

Some one once told me cats are like women and dogs are like men .....
kinda makes sense ....

 

Everything a woman loves about a cat, she hates in a man....
