Surfing the web last night I ran across this news story. The bullet being a boat exploded in the Bahamas in late June. One lady was killed while on her 15th anniversary and many others, mostly tourist were injured. One is a 22 year old woman from the U.S. who lost both her legs in the accident. The cause is unknown at this time but served as a good reminder for me to always vent the engine compartment before starting the boat after days or weeks of non use.

Yes, I saw the story on last nights late news. She is a student at Castleton State University in Vermont. My niece graduated from there two years ago. Terrible tragedy. Be alert out there people, dont get distracted by the festivities.
I am always sad to hear about accidents on the water especially since I enjoy boating so much. Not sure how this happens however my experience tells me most boaters do not know or understand the rule of the road. I have a rowing skiff which is similar to a shell except more stable. I am often amazed on how many boats come up on me without beeping their horn to let me know they are there or try to squeeze under a bridge just before I enter. They must think I have eyes in the back of my head like our children did.
if you walk to the top from the right side (per your pic) there is a phone poll in the middle of the trail ...that is covered in...gum..its beautiful to say the least.
Out on the deck enjoying the cool weather this morning, before it hits 95° again, designing a bow anchor roller to fit the new stem head fitting on the Beneteau, seen on the table. They dont exist...yet. Going to have pieces of 1/4" SS plate cut and welded together. Found a source for delrin rollers. I will drill all the holes for the rollers and mounting to the bow. This, if it works as designed, will keep the 22# delta anchor away from the gelcoat.
