    Oh, they finally got it to float. I thought it was still on the dry, more floats being welded on. :p

    Lurvio: What is that avatar with the sunglasses? It reminds me of a little puppet from the late 1990's that was all over Europe. Mr Oizo. :D

    It's a toy moose I got a long time ago, with my sunglasses. Ive been using it as an avatar for a long time. You'll get to see my face, when I get my boat ready.

    Note to self: Update the build thread. :)

    It's an 80 ft boat so it's not small, I'n not sure what the tonnage would be - about 75T? 40 people all on one side might heel it a bit but I shouldn't think it would flip. I'm not rushing to send in my reservation however . . .

    My memory on the details is a bit faint, but the original boat was 50-something footer that was extented to 80 ft, I think it was from the middle. Then it was extented skywards at least by one deck level.

    Why is this thread still not transferred to the 'jokes' section?
    Honestly: the recent months have not really lead to practical results and (me included) we are actually just gossiping along. :confused:

    That was very funny: "...will continue to service to its guests of private, corporal, and..."
    That is "Corporate"!!!!
    In my mind I joked, "is the writer going to cite the whole military ranks from the bottom up?!:rolleyes:
    Now seriously, if what Apex1 says is correct, that is an accident waiting to happen. Oy vey!
