Take a gander at the photo below, taken at the annual Lobster Boat race in Searsport, Maine. The race has one rule: The boat has to be an everyday, working lobster boat. There is nothing in the rules, however, about using your everyday engine.

I'd like to see myself on a lobster boat in Bermuda! Especially when it was 45*F this morning, reminding me that winter is coming in the North East...

I'll look tomorrow on their home computer. I believe hes got a few. If you download the audio on this article you can hear what she used to sound like. http://savvytraveler.publicradio.org/show/features/2002/20020719/feature1.shtml



Wish he had competition back then, thats one of the reasons he sold her.
