You know you're in trouble when......

And all because the pumps and generators don't work

[Rick]

Oh, snap! Now there's a floating survival boat! That's better than a barge. Now all I need are a couple of Harrier Jump Jets and I'm in the war business.

[Winnie]

No aircraft yet, but how's about one of these to be going on with? This would make a mighty fine BOV!

Very inconspicuous too.
Just a little Sunday drive to church, that's all.

[Rick]

I'm embarrassed to tell you but I've actually looked at the Saxon's. There's a company in Georgia that imports British military surplus including Saxons. But my heart is really with the Man Cat A1.

Why am I not surprised. Not as easy to hide as thongs and cookers though.

This appears to be a perfect ungrade for the F.A.R.T. marine division. The propulsion issue can be overcome by borrowing a "few" outboard motors. Generators and pumps may be a bit of an issue, but there must be a ton of portable generators and sump pumps we can borrow from the forum. Would certainly put this forum in the news

Paint a target on it and add flashing lights. Jumbo speakers blaring in the trunk.
Flying under the radar is for sissies.

Oh carp......Wish y'all haden't brought up the ship.......Oh, Honey, I don't have one of these.........!
Cool, Winnie, thanks!
No worries, won't fit in the river........guess I'll pass.

Not so sure about the speakers, unless I get to choose the music

May not dazzle them with our prowness, but the music may at least delay any response

[Rick]

The ONLY way we will pick that thing up is if it has electric start. I'm not kick startin' that baby. No way.

always a good choice!!!

No kick start, I think it said it has no propulsion. I would think that should keep it at a speed we can handle. May I be presumptous and nominate Crash as the "driver" or whatever the Navy calls the head honcho on a boat, ship or whatever. At least he should a working knowledge of the appropriate nautical curses

[Pal334]

As long as the opposition is French, I think that song would provide an appropriate level of force

[Rick]

Well then. I ain't paddlin' either. Outboards will work. I'm sure we can duct tape 'em to the back side if there isn't a transom to hook to. We might be able to weld something on back since it's "mild steel". If nothing else we can give the anchor a heave and pull ourselves to it.

Crash would make a good Captain. He knows all that Navy jargon stuff. All I know is Navy Beans.

We could use it for the annual Wilderness Survival Bass tournament. We've never had one before because we've never had a cool looking boat...ship...whatever.

[Pal334]

And there is enough steel that Crash and Pancho and all others can make asmany knifes as they want.

[Rick]

Attention Knifebuilders. All metal must be removed ABOVE the waterline. You can't be too careful with knife builders.

[Pal334]

Now that is a very prudent rule. The metal below the waterline can be so sparkly and pretty

Hot Off The Press!!

Hms Ark Royal Drops Anchor For The Final Time.

HMS Ark Royal has returned home for good after being decomissioned as part of the Governments spending cuts.

The flagship of the Royal Navy, HMS Ark Royal had been in service for 25 years and travelled to every corner of the globe.

Launched in 1981 by the Queen Mother, she saw action in the Bosnian conflict and spearheaded the UK invasion force of Iraq in 2003.

Ark Royal was due to be decommissioned in three years' time and the government’s decision to scrap her early has been met with severe criticism from some naval officers, as it means Britain is no longer able to launch fighter jets from sea.

Now if we can just have a whip round and beat the competition to the sale, we can get one in full working order! Might be able to get them to throw in a couple of Harriers to sweeten the deal, if me and Bee flash a bit of thigh

"Engines Removed"

I'm with Rick, I bet Somali pirates could strap an outboard to it. They haven't been doing to well lately, this thing could be their ticket!
