Speaking of 'bubble boats'...
http://www.sail-world.com/news_std.c...6&rid=1&sc=arc
I dont' see why they would call this a 'bubble' boat seeing there's little 'bubble' about it, but it does look like it could be fun, that is *IF* you can find clear enough water to use it. |

Oh, i know. but from where I live it would be great, 'just about anywhere but here' LOL! |

As long as you don't want to get in the water. I suppose I could get used to 75 degree water but I prefer it warmer. Boating is pretty much perfect here now if you don't mind it being in the 70s. My wife still wears a jacket and long pants at 75 and doesn't even want to go if it is colder than that. 75 F water would be hard to find around here. Anything in the high 60's will do for swimming. |

So.... in the middle of one of our recent coldest winters, it is swimming weather???? B-r-r-r--r-r-r-r--r-r- Naw... I was referring to mid-summer up here. |

Cool! Yeah, really. I'd never seen nor heard of one, but for what it is and where it could be used, I dont' know why it didn't take off any better. you'd think there'd be a good market for it in clear water regions. maybe there really is but not really known in the U.S. |
