Looks like you got it moving pretty fast there? Aren't those ripples going the wrong way though?

Looks like an illegal kinetic movement.

Or perhaps trying to get across the line just in front of a competitor - like the sprinters do by ducking their head right at the finish line.

Very observant Matt. Actually the boat is sitting on the bottom in 6" of water.

I was about to say that there was an aweful lot of bouyancy in those 17 bows with you on the front :P

Not to say anything about your impressive physique or anything :P

Dan, should have know you were on the bottom. When I stand on the forward area of the hull, common light wind position on a H-17, the bow is nearly under. But then, I have at least 40 lbs. on you.

Bevis Lake (search), a 5.7-acre body of water in a forested area about 25 miles northeast of Seattle, is now appearing in Bureau records with a different name: Butthead Lake. "That means someone is playing a joke, I think," said Ken Brown, a land surveyor with the state Department of Natural Resources.


How does this relate to this serious sailing discussion? However, to clear this up, the naming of this lake is clearly a politically motivated effort to honor our current Republican leadership. See the attached photo.
