Kewl.
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

Thanks for taking me on my first ride in a jet boat!  That was so much fun.  I can't wait to get out again.

Here's an action shot of Yoda enjoying this new ride.

Did you have it on TheYman's fishing picture post?

Looked like a riptide on the bottom pic, how'd you manage that rapid they were on?

Interesting. How wide is the Towee at the transom?

I had my first up-close look at one recently, and the transom didn't look much wider than the LT-25 Gheenoe.

But I know David Darnell tried to put a jet on an LT-25 and it didn't work - he was told the Gheenoe doesn't have enough transom for a jet to work.

This makes me wonder.
