That is so funny. The fellow that builds those is named Greg Darby and he lives right around the corner from my office here in Ft Lauderdale. He built the first one as a goofball project for he and his wife and has turned it into a nice little business. I have never met him personally but he is a friend of one of my coworkers.

In Turkey, a person had made a similar vehicle that can move it by turning the pedals. The passengers are both drinking something, pedaling, traveling in the sea, and doing sports.

 

-------------------

 

Türkiye'de bir kişi buna benzer pedal çevrilerek hareket edebilen bir taşıt yapmıştı. Yolcular hem bir şeyler içiyorlar, hem pedal çevirerek denizde gezebiliyorlar, hem de spor yapmış oluyorlar.

Early in my sailing days, I developed a theory - When you're sober and on land you walk straight.  When you're drunk and on land you walk crooked.  When you're sober and on a boat you walk crooked.  When you're drunk and on a boat you walk straight.  That's why sailors love rum.

Hi Julie

 

I guess I just haven't been properly drunk on a boat yet! Not too sure i could tell anymore anyway with the condition of my spine, (and as of yesterday according to the Doc) my hips. I kind of walk with a list anyway now days.:huh: The Admiral would trade me in on a new model except she can't find anyone stupid enough to give her anything. So she will probably keep me around and use me as a bad example.

 

Excuse me I need to go look for the bottle of Crown Royal.
