    What about TV

    I'd say the Monkey is better than dragging all that cable out to sea..salt water breaks it down over time and you get a blank screen showing a shark bit into the wire..

    an Aussie in Newfie with pics.

    Too bad the weather in August wasn't as nice as July or now in September you would have enjoyed it much more. This is an awesome place to visit. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Trawler

    A broker's rant (yes we're allowed)

    Ya not a good place carry out an exchange on a misunderstanding although we get the point and I am sure both of you learnt a good lesson. Three sides to every story. The point is sometimes we forget how what we do may affect others in the process, contractually or not. Feelings go deep when hurt...

    A broker's rant (yes we're allowed)

    Yep I agree it could be all a misunderstanding that a broker can be used even outside what he/she have been pushing. Mark, do you ask your clients if they have been using a broker somewhere else before you start the path to a potential sale? Sometimes that standard can save many of a...

    Something different

    Not seen in the video is a diver with a hammer to staighten them out and the big icebreaker usually has two divers. ( just kidding ). I thought I had a picture of the prop area but I don't. They are somewhat protected but I've never heard of it being an issue. The ice was 3' thick so thus some...

    Something different

    Guess that is why so many around home use glass ( up to 3/4" ) over wood, i.e. so they don't receive too much damage. I would never attempt anything like that with my boat. Oh well like I said, I just wanted to show you people who freak on a 1/4" ice in your harbours/bay's and inlets something...

    Something different

    Art great analytical synopsis but nothing went askew with their plans, they got to the channel and headed out seal hunting the next day. These fellows working around the boat grew up "copy panning or step & copy" - ( see last picture ) jumping from one ice flow to the next for fun so them being...

    Something different

    I tend to agree with you Fun but I can tell ya this wasn't their first circus. They grew up doing this stuff. I on the other hand can't walk on ice without thinking I am heading for a cold drink in the matter of seconds even in an Arena.

    Something different

    They build these hulls to handle this stuff not saying they don't get damage though i.e. 1/2" glass over wood. Oh, he ( friend of mine ) had it on dry-dock until a few days back when he launched it to get into the channel the icebreaker made so he could go out Seal hunting.

    Something different

    Here is something that you guys have probably never seen before. It really makes my boat look tiny and actually it makes my house look small too. Check out this video. The fellow in the coveralls is 77yrs old and the other chap is 69yrs old. Fit as a fiddle I tell ya. These guys are trying to...
