still looking for some pictures but if you happin to come across a newburyport paper you'll see my picture.

goodridge and "crew" aka me put the fire out. The boat sunk on use but we brought it back up the next day.
Spent 10hrs on the water towing it back in.

Theres nothin like doing 36knotts in the ocean going to fight a boat fire.

what did you use to put the fire out with? I would love to do that kinda stuff!!

[Nate8409]

Sounds exciting. Change from everyday grind at least.

Ya, putting a fire out on a boat in the middle of the ocean....sweet....see ya there....heh

I heard something about that happening the other day

I should have my paper in a few hours
the delivery guy doesn't show up too early

[AllWheelDriveIsAllIllDriv]

we tried to blow the fire out but that didn't work~rotfl~
we have a 3 inch diameter gas pump that we used as a fire hose. normally we have fire hose nozels, but the boat we took out didn't have one. Eventually when it sank the rest of the fire went out.
twin turbo diesel straight six's. when the insurance company is done i'm getting a new paper weight. A burned up turbo:)

I was on duty and heard that going on. Thank goodness it was Bostons area and not mine.

36knots? that's nothin lol ~bounce~

[TrickyDik]

^^^really I was doing much more then that with some Navy SEALs just the other day on their super cool secret squirrel boat.

[doylfish]

^^^yeah i was being sarcastic on that one lol


you didn't happen to be down in kbpt this week at all with the coasties that were stationed for bush coverage? actually you probably were with the amount of manpower and machine gun power they have had there all week

[Murphy2012]

Ya, I was plannin on ambushing him too....:(

All I can say is that I'm involved.

[doylfish]

yeah, top secret, lol, either way, if you see an 18ft eastern launch and a 13ft whaler towing some 420's and opti sailboats don't shoot ~ok~

[Murphy2012]

420 :)

[Gitster]

:rotfl:

[Nate8409]

Any further news on the toasted Boat?

[TrickyDik]

Not top secret level, however that is my clearance level. But my involvement is considered sensitive to OPSEC (or operational security for those non-military folk)

~soldier~

[doylfish]

haha, murph and gitster, i knew someone was gonna come up with that, take it you guys aren't much of sailors though eh? lol

but yeah, choppers flying over all over the place, and let me say, bush's boat "fidelity III" is absolutely ridiculous and insanely overpowered, from my looks it's a team formula racing boat, 29-31 ft, and it has 3X(275 hp) merc's for engines

[Nate8409]

More power=betterer

The boat is sitting in ouy yard right now. who knows when all the paper work will get done. Any of you salty sea folks see the war ship anchored off glauscter over the weekend. saw it on my way back to base at 100 at night after pulling a 38ft powerboat off a sand bar.
