That was some funny shit and brought back some great memories.
Now you know why were WEREN'T on the ground.. but opted for the helicopter.

Man, that was the driest/but best humor I have heard in a while from a reporter. :shock:

I wish the video was better quality, but you could hear the pieces hitting the ground after the explosion. They are lucky no one got killed (I am serious)

That thing really blew (but didn't hold a candle to our C-4 explosion)

In terms of the boat metal, could we beat it into submission (fold it over) like at a car bash? or is the metal too strong?

its metal... and covered with oysterbeds.. and buried in about 15 inches of sand....

its going to be a chore to get it out..

by hand.. probably if we get 5 to 10 guys out there with some very very strong shovels (we broke 3 on our last outting) ...

get out there on super low tide and just dig the thing out ...

if we could at least uncover it completely and get some chains around it .. we might be able to drag it out to the channel with a boat.

Is pounding it into submission (flat with surface) even possible?

dont think so.. it would most likely resurface.. .. its a jagged mess of metal. it needs to be removed if possible..
and in the least, marked off.

what about putting in some plastic posts in the ground to mark it off?? dont know if that would just add another layer of hazzard... (huge air, backloop to plastic post in your back..ugh!)

I don't see why we couldn't contact the city or the marine police to see if they would help us remove it as well...

Bryan,
I dont ride out there but I would be willing to give a hand. I will bring my boat around to drag it off if it could be loosened from the muddy bottom.

Let me know if I can be of some help..

absolutely worth a shot!

Toby,

Sounds good. I hate to be negative, but... ever see the even BIGGER boat remains across the way? :?

Seriously, there are hazzards everywhere much more serious. They are required to make sure they are on the nav aids tho. (That way after you hit it, you can see where it was)

Kev,

Be our guest and go ahead and just blow it out of the water if it is that simple then...
