Talk about rockin and a rollin in the high surf!

The Coast Guard's MLB specs were interesting as well. Especially
the self righting unsinkable aspect of the vessel. I'm wondering what
their ballasting system is comprised of.

Rob should get one of these (or a surplus facsimile). The he and
little Thomas could leave their slip with "no fear". heh heh

Enjoy
