I didn't know you had a boat Tim?

I might add that there are more easy to use anchors these days.

You know, those pictures make what was left of my bike look showroom fresh!

OK, now I'm depressed... If Jeff doesn't think it's worth a go, then it probably isn't! :( (maybe I should use it for target practice...?)

Strewth, a matching pair! Maybe from the same seller?

I thinks it's 'shiber me timbers'?
Those timbers will need a lot of shibbering! :lol:

WANT! Just put the bike on the boat and push it off to the East. I'll paddle out on my longboard to meet it, and send you PayPal when I get back to shore.

Thanks for the offer Melville, but you really don't want to "sink" any more money in this project...

I have a vision of all the as-cast surfaces shimmering with a black stove enamel, like a Vincent. A little blingtastic treatment of all the smooth alu parts, and mechanical work as needs. I could probably have it done in less than 5 years, this go-round.
