Default Alien Fred, me namesake....

That's I in the PASSENGER seat!!!

Better (more revealing) shot is of me boarding the HMS Uncapsizeable (aka "The Rub-a-Dub"). Krikeys! I even got one of my nieces into the thing----unsafe at any speed. I think the old engineering formua was "freeboard=reserve bouyancy". Ar-ar-ar. The little yacht is only 4.2 feet long, but it's got unlimited headroom! It's even got a "head"* too! We use the transom when overnighting......

*naughty-cal for "terlit"

PS Recognize the yellow Cobra? It won the Run and Gun, 'way back when. Owner's initials were** RL. Who dat, cobra history buffs? First correct answer gets a ride in the Rub-a-Dub! (Even if we have toshanghai you!)

*car is now "recycled" having gone slightly off-course in NH Speedway.
