Just because you can, does not mean…

Two students attempted to build their own boat with a host of unconventional materials, including 20 Home Depot orange buckets, two plastic kiddie pools, a large piece of plywood and plenty of duct tape. At nearly 3 a.m. on Saturday morning, they were rescued from the Pacific Ocean after being carried out to sea by the current. Rescuers were called by someone from the shore who had seen the signals they were sending out with their strobe light. They did have a paddle and were using it to steer their homemade raft, but the currents were too strong. The pitch darkness and 50 degree ocean did not help. A water rescue crew spent about 30 minutes wrangling with the boat on the open waters, but they all safely docked without injuries. Though he admitted they did not make it very far offshore, One of the boat builders firmly stated that he and his peer were in control of the vessel the whole time. The raft could have been part of a school project or “They used to have these non-sanctioned ‘Floatopia’ events that in the summer [or] spring break, a lot of people would be on the beach and they would create these rafts and stuff just to sit on in the water,” according to Newsweek.

 

Sunken Dreams

The two happiest days for a boat owner:
The day they buy the boat and the day they sell the boat.

I’ve been suffering a lot of seizures recently…
…so far they’ve taken my house, my car and my boat.

Why aren’t boats equipped with artificial intelligence?
Nobody wants to get on a thinking ship.

How do you make a yacht look younger? Boat-Tox.
