I have no idea although the scrubby cemetary on Cedar Key is to my liking. However, what I'd really like is to have me put me in one of my little 12' MiniCup sailboats, douse her with diesel, haul her out beyond the 3 mile limit and set her alight. I bet it'd be illegal. I bet it'd be illegal. Use enough fuel and fertilizer to do it Islam style and they won't find enough pieces to prosecute. If you really want spectacle, fill an RIB (or just a rubber life raft) with acetylene and oxygen at the right mix to burn blue. Then you only need a tea cup of gasoline to get it going but you better be able to light this puppy from pretty far away. I know a crazy friend of mine set off a regular inner tube full in Accokeek and brought the county cops from Clinton. (Md) A 6" balloon sounds like a cherry bomb Excellent idea, I forgot about that one.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - A 30-06 Spingfield or .303 british with phosphorus tracer would do the trick, 250 yards no problem. In this group? 25 feet might ensure a hit. |

When it runs out of fuel and comes to a stop, it will then start to flood through the transom drain. Maybe 200 miles out. Of course it is simpler with a twenty something, as those in the teens are required to have positive flotation when flooded. So ballast as necessary, with sand or rock, until sinkable.

A garbage bag of the stuff is plenty loud. Wear hearing protection, and enjoy feeling the concussion all over your body. Adjust to what they call a neutral flame, and then put the torch out by dipping it in sand. It will burn under water, although lighting it there is tricky. An ex co-worker who grew up on a chicken farm in rural Pennsylvania told of doing exactly that. He claimed that a large garbage bag of optimally mixed oxy-acetylene set off remotely with a flash cube (remember those) took out windows in his house from back by the barn. Neighbors from miles around called to check if they were ok... His dad later caught him ordering a weather balloon from Edmund Scientific. |
