That guy is nuts !
I leave on my Croatian vacation 3 weeks from today. Will not be bringing a Laser. :)
Oh, then you're bringing the inflatable cat? ;~P
I have this one from the Stockholm Archipelago from '98, but I wasn't sailing. I did have the world's smallest boat engine.Boat5.jpg
You look like you're having way too much fun for those conditions Frank! The cigar is a nice touch ...

Yeah, not that either. ;D
(though it would be fun, for a day...)

Twice a day in all wx conditions, Tom, until the ice was an inch thick which was too much for my little aluminum boat to break. That was a warm winter in Stockholm that year, the first year my neighbors could remember when the our little part of the Baltic didn't freeze solid enough for us to drive our cars back and forth over.

Or about 2 seconds ... :-\

Well, after all, you can't drink all day if you don't get an early start! ;D

That's because your "aluminum icebreaker" had the world's smallest boat engine Frank! ::)
There may have been a time when I would have said, sure, I'll try that, but those days are long past. (maybe 40 years)
Same here!

Actually Tom, now that I think about it, a guy who goes by the Watertribe name Crazy Russian completed I think it was two Everglades Challenges with an inflatable cat. He brought it over from Russia, pumped it up, did the challenge, deflated it, and took it back to Russia.
But then again, it doesn't snow in the Everglades ... ;D

But that little boat had "sisu", Dan, being a Finnish-made brand called Buster ;)

Yes Frank - from Eastern Boats, the current Sisu 22 builder: "The 22 Sisu is legendary among Downeast hulls. Sisu is a Finnish word that means stamina, fortitude, and "guts"."
