Pic Of The Day

Willhound

Another example of why I never used a stern anchor. Wind changes and you're fumbling around in the dark trying to fix things. A good bow set, with bridle and set an anchor drift alarm on both your chart plotter and phone and you're all set for a restful night's sleep. Just my 2 cents.

@YYZRC did you dive for the anchor?  Maybe somebody ran over the float, or the float line let go.

Oh, wait.  It's September in Canada!  No, you didn't dive.  

YYZRC

It was a small cove. I checked the shoreline for the float. I’m certain the rogue sailboaters absconded with it. Maybe it will make their lives a bit better? They washed their dishes in the lake so their new stern anchor is probably a real luxury.

Ah, sailboaters... not a surprise.

Needless to say, that would suck.

I wonder how deep it is there and if it bounced up upright?

Is this being craned off something?

LaRea

Yes, being craned off a cargo ship.  I think about that video every time I'm on my boat in a TravelLift sling (something I really should not do).  

YYZRC

They allow you to ride while in the sling??  Geez.

TonyG13

Years back with our 25' we were arriving at the yacht yard and the crane operator just yelled at us to drive between the slings. They rigged us and up and out of the water we popped as he swung us around to our trailer. A little surreal. Don't think I'd do it again. Just like skydiving, did it once - and that was enough.

LaRea

I'd never get aboard while the lift's tires are moving.  A few times, I've been aboard while lowering the boat into the water.

the power train is assembled.  Will start on removing body from frame sometime next week. 

Trans is a v6 5 speed found in 1988 to 1995 toyota  4 runner and pickup truck.

That water looks like glass.  Must be a very calm past couple of days.   

J3ff

Yup! This was just over the 3 mile out line

PickleRick

3 miles out, perfect spot to discharge a holding tank legally!!!

J3ff

Hah! Couldn't do that to this beautiful water! No ability to anyway...!

Aqua_Aura

It's simple just hang your @$$ off the side and let it rip 💩

You say thay because you're not in a land locked lake.

If you look at that coral, it's 90% dead.  The reefs now start in Georgia some 150 plus feet deep and extend up to NC.

well get over there and get that pot of gold!

Windy day down here on the ocean... ran the boat just to get her out there, dropped anchor for a little bit, then a storm rolled in. Time to hit the pool.

@Lake_Bum that is just incredible!

TonyG13

At first glance I thought the boat was landlocked inside the cavern. Awesome shot!

WoW! Great shot @Lake_Bum !!
