How Do You Remove A Bridge Quickly?

You crash a ship into it.

The bow of the Delta Mariner was covered in twisted steel and chunks of asphalt from the two-lane bridge. The boat hit the bridge Thursday night on the Tennessee River on its way to Cape Canaveral, Fla. .....The five-story high Delta Mariner was too tall to pass through the portion of the bridge that it struck (you don't say), and the resulting collision left a 300-foot wide gap.

Skipper! You got some 'splainin to do!

Hokey smokes, that's a long board!

Don't feel you need to have a fancy stick in order to surf. Just get out there, respect other surfers and have some fun.

You can count me in the not dedicated category. I'm whining like a baby because it's 50°F (10°C) today in the City By The Bay. (I wonder what it is if you factor in wind chill?)

A 200 milles de l'arrivée à Ouessant, c'est par une navigation en mer d'Irlande, avec un vent soutenu d'une trentaine de nœuds soufflant d'Ouest Sud Ouest que Loïck Peyron et les hommes du Maxi Banque Populaire V apportent actuellement la touche finale à leur Trophée Jules Verne. Dans quelques heures, au cœur de la nuit prochaine, les quatorze marins devraient devenir les nouveaux détenteurs du temps de référence autour du monde en équipage*, à la condition d'éviter les derniers écueils qui se dresseront sur leur route. 45 jours et une dizaine d'heures après avoir quitté Brest, l'équipage de la Banque de la Voile s'apprête à y revenir et du même coup, à entrer dans la grande histoire du livre des records.

Merci a Mark Denzer pour la lien.

What Is It, Joe?

It seems that our man in Hawaii, Mark Denzer, wasn't happy being the circumnavigator of Oahu. He's gotten into the inventing business and come up with a contraption that should bring joy to old Laser sailors worldwide. The only question I have for him is, "where's the cup holder?"
