Interesting boat of the day...

While going to work yesterday, I came across these folks; they had just hauled a dinghy out of the water...


Someone had given them the dinghy.  It sat in the water for almost a year without being used.  Well, maybe it was being used as a science experiment? ;-)  He told me he rowed it from the other side of the marina, and the best he could get, rowing as hard as he could, was about a quarter of a knot.

And for folks who think stuff won't grow on a hull in this cold water, here's a closer look...


It makes me wonder what Wild Blue's hull looks like after 3+ months?  (We do have reasonably fresh bottom paint.)
