Heeling.

Gen Next goes sailing.

Heeling is where a vessel tips sideways to some extent. The term is usually used in connection with the lean caused to a sailboat by the wind's force on the sails. A vessel may also heel if there is a greater load on one side than the other. This may happen if the cargo shifts or is not loaded correctly or if passengers or crew congregate on one side. In extreme cases, the vessel may lean so much that it capsizes. - Wiki

Who Is That Bowman?

Yes, I have seen bowmen work miracles. But walking on water?

"To be seaworthy, a vessel must be able to defend herself against the incursion and peril of the sea."- C. A. Marchaj.

Mr. Spithill, thanks for pushing the boat to the limit, your wages will be garnished starting with your next paycheck.

It's a good thing that Mr. Deep Pockets has money to throw around and can fund this endeavor.

hat tip to my lawn guy.

Is not New Jersey!

"Joe, I lived in Baydog's cold, wet New Jersey. I worked in New Jersey. New Jersey was home to me.

Joe, this is no New Jersey. Now get off my lawn and play in the street!"

Yes, maybe it is somewhere else. It isn't here, posting on my blog. But where is it, can you guess?

Boat Of The Day.

It looks like a box with a mast and sail.
Mind you, I've been downing massive quantities of bourbon the last few days so I might not be seeing what I think I'm seeing. If I am seeing what I think I'm seeing then it begs the question; why would someone build a boat like that?
