JCC ITT we contribute to the Montie Wants A Yacht Fund

The nearest Powerball terminal is about 4 hours away.

 

You're not trying hard enough!

 

Where the hell do you live? East Armpit, Nowhere? There are a number of other high-yield lotteries, too.

 

Michigan. Ohio does not have Powerball that I know of and Indiana does. So make it like 3 to 3.5 hours to the nearest terminal for Powerball. We do have Mega Millions here and I do play on occasion but I rather play the smaller games which I can win a few bucks back from time to time.

Hence, yacht fund!

 

Trick or treat smell my feat give me a friggin yacht!

Her butt or the boat?

 

Look at the size of "her" hands. Those are man hands.

Well he does have time on his hands now, lol.

That is an Open 60 race yacht. The only things that go faster ont he water have motors and/or hydrofoils. Those things need fuel. This racer needs no such thing, can be sailed by one person, and regularly achieves speeds over 20 knots and can top out over 30.

Wingsails! The neat thing about wingsails are their simplicity. Can you drive car? Then you can sail one of these. One person is all that is needed to get these babies going.

The fund sits at $0.67 (Some change on the coffee table)

 

I can paypal you a dollar.

 

Well, at the current rate of 0.67 cents every year and a half, to raise 800,000 Dollars will take:

One and Three Quarter

















Million Years!

Seriously, may you should consider doing what this chap did:

And convert a Toyota Pick-Up Truck into a Boat:

It did cross the English Channel!

No dry dock required, just drive it for an MOT (or for repairs) and no worries for berthing fees, park it in your garage...

Or maybe a Campervan Conversion:

Daft-Vader

 

Buy a truck and convert it? No no, I will be doing no work myself this is all on your shoulders. You buy, I sail. See? Easy.

Yvette!

 

I will design it, but by mechanical skills are less the adequate.
