Rinker Yan / Handyman 342 blast from the past! - Hey guys, having a great visit from our beloved Handy (Steve) who made is way north with his wife in his RV to Nova Scotia Canada for a visit last week. Of course we had to hit the waters of Mahone Bay in my 212 and venture over to the working site of the ongoing treasure hunt on Oak Island. Good ol' Steve sitting in the captains chair until I had to boot him out so we wouldn't run aground out there haha.  For those that know him, we have had a few good conversations about "current affairs" as well
 
Steve says hi to the old gang and we enjoyed playing tour guide with them all last week.

@halifax212 Wow!  Tell Steve I said hello!

How cool -- that is awesome!  Tell him hi from Chris and Diane!

Headed up river about 20 miles to enjoy these last warm days we have. It's high 70s today.

@Aqua_Aura Looks like that area is prepared for some large tidal changes.

Aqua boat is looking good

This floating pier in Paducah Kentucky handles spring floods up to 50 feet.  It's an impressive work of civil engineering.  Now I understand why there aren't a lot of marinas on this part of the Ohio River!

rasbury

Wow! 50 ft is unimaginable to me here in fl

That would put a good part of Florida underwater!

Ya mean, Handy actually boarded a boat that wasn't a DIESEL????  Hahahaha

We just did a road trip up north and a small town on the border Calais (US) St Stephen (CA) has a waterway with a 22’ tide when we were there on Oct 25. Flood prep is good and hope not needed, these guys twice a day!

I was dreaming of summer boating so I looked at the Facebook page of Dent Island Lodge where we went this summer and saw they posted an aerial photo when we were there. We were on the boat on the right with all the solar panels. 





They also had some drone video as well

The admiral and I were in Cabo the last few days….just one of many pieces of eye candy.

Nice pic ... would be better if you had walked up onto the bow for rando selfie!

It is amazing how rich some people become...or are given. If i could have had just a little mix up at the hospital when I was born...or maybe it did! Hey! That might be my boat!

LaRea

We're in Columbus Mississippi parked next to this awesome beauty!  The owner was headed for the Gulf when he ran aground and wrecked the props.  He had her towed to this marina, where she has sat ... untouched ... for 15 years.  Every month, he pays the slip fee and the marina owner sprays for wasps.  Meanwhile the boat is slowly crumbling into nothing.  The VHF antennas actually have lichen growing on them!

I bet she was a nice boat 15 years ago.  Now you couldn't give her away.  

aero3113

That’s too bad!
I’d take that project on!

captkevin

Hard to imagine paying to keep it in the slip for 15 years while  just letting fall apart

Lake_Bum

Wow.....what an eyesore for that Marina.  I would think the Marina would grow tired of looking at that eventually. 

PickleRick

I'm thinking if I could get it free, minus shipping, how bad the little lady would scold me when it pulled into the yard???

Assuming it's diesel powered.  With twin gas motors I wouldn't be able to afford to leave the slip more than once or twice a season.

Ian

Hope no critters moved over to your boat. I’d have asked to be moved.

Whoa, that looks so fun. I'm jealous of the kids

Definitely nicer than the last bird I flew

If the owner continues the upgrades, pretty soon the instrument panel will start looking like my boat.
