I'm sory, but I can only see one picture in
alt.binaries.pictures.sports.ocean ... Am I missing
something?

Oh, you'd have a fit if you looked into that bilge.
There's dishwater,
some oil, some rust, a few tools too deep to reach even
with the magnet,
how awful! It's a boat....not house beautiful.
Everything from the sinks,
shower, everything but the head, dumps in her bilge to be
pumped overboard

Look at the next picture. This is the NEW engine Cap
bought from a guy in
NC I met on this newsgroup. It's a pullout. See? We

now. Cap'n
Geoffrey couldn't even destroy it trying to start it full

that stupid water injection line to the dripless packing
he had a shipyard
install BACKED UP seawater into the exhaust ports. Try

the engine. It looked like we pumped the Exxon Valdez oil

usually too busy
when Geoffrey is around working on his to-do list...(c;

trying to pay me. He asked what I wanted for all my work.
I told him,
"That's easy. Just take me with you." It's worked out
great for both of
us....(c;
