I have a friend who is trying to commission me to build him a small viking type ship, maybe 20 feet... Only problem is he also wants me to put him in it and send it to sea on fire upon his death.

Scotty If that's his wishes, and he pays up front or is a good friend, I would have no compunction. He should probably be cremated first to satisfy local regs, and the boat should be created to burn as completely as possible, but I can't think of a better way to go. When I'm no longer interested in this body, any usable parts can be used by the needy, Science can have it to figure out how I survived that long, then burn the rest and put it in some water. The Virgin Islands are my first choice, Chesapeake second, but the creek that starts in my back yard is sufficient. I've enjoyed the body for more than a half century, but when I'm done with it, I'm done. -- Jere Lull Xan-a-Deux ('73 Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD) Xan's Pages: http://members.dca.net/jerelull/X-Main.html Our BVI FAQs (290+ pics) http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |

Well this is just my opinion. But if those are truly his last wishes and he can afford to have it built. Yeah, that's the problem. He has owed me 50 bucks for almost a year now and he is still alive. I am sure it would be almost impossible to get him to pay me after he is dead and burned! ;) AND he can do that legally. I mean really its no different than a burial at sea. Anyway just my opinion. My self, the reason I want one if I just like to collect weird stuff. "Backyard Renegade" wrote in message om... "Greg Boyles" wrote in message news:5VLAb.51952$_M.239766@attbi_s54...
