This photo begs the question: What the heck is that ?


It looks like a big tree (under power) moving toward the marina, but I can't tell for sure.

Don't know. If the picture was bigger, might be able to get better look at it. Looks like a small island with a tree in the middle. But I'm half blind.

I'm with you Squak, what the heck is that? A motorized island, I want one.

Is that a sub just surfacing? I wonder if Capt. Bob would care to post the pictures of the submarine race he just competed in.

Appears to be a small island with a tree and some small brush. However, there also appears to be a small wake to the left of the island which gives it the perception that is slowly moving from left to right.

Was also curious about the line of what appear to be buoys directly behind. :):)

Well, since you asked.. This year's videos are not released yet but here are some photos from last year's event...

CLICK HERE for photos

BTW, the photo at CBR may have been morphed as the image sure looks like a South Korean frigate of the Panda class.

I'm still trying to figure out what in the heck this thing is?

A man of impeccable taste plus wise beyond his years, such as Captain Bob is, would not be caught dead in a submarine pimped up like this thing. What the "h e double hocky sticks" is that thing?

WW,
I have it on good authority (Hmmmm), this device contains a Sonar and earth penetrating
Radar Array the Corps will be using this summer to detect the extent of their Dam leak.

It has been disguise as a kid's jumping house and located at LFM so as not to draw attention.

The word is:
They have poured so much grout into the underlying dam foundation, the Corps now believes
China is using it to build on to their cities and increase their manufacturing infrastructure.

Of course this is all very highly Hush - Hush, don't you know. :P

Yes, the object at LFM is an inflatable water type trampoline.

Looks to me like one of those double decker pontoons Conley rents full of bodies. But then again, others on this forum can say I see a lot of things that aren't there. :P
