Drain boating

Hawkeye and I were in Helensburgh train tunnel about two months ago. It was flooded so I brought up the idea of taking an inflatable boat with us so we could do this.

That would be fun, although in most of the drains I've been in, the only time it's wet enough to boat, is when it's raining = drowning with or without a boat.

Helensburgh there is no water flowing through. I think it is just a damn.

Shweeeet. We'll go sometime.

At that price, we could buy a spare or two. Hahaha. Although it's probably better to get the 2-person/3-person variants of it. Only about $10 more.

Was watching the water running in the open drain today and was thinking if only I had a boat.

1. Find something floating on the water.
2. Find something else floating on the water.
3. Tie them together with something appropriate.
4. Go back to step one. If you already have something good enough to support your weight, go to step five.
5. Use as raft.
