You see this photo from Great Bay Marine on the Piscataqua River in Newington NH ...... it says TEAL in gold letters on the bow ..... from NJ-NYC, Atlantic Ocean harbor waters, to Lake Winnipesaukee for the next hundred years if it has an aluminum or steel hull ..... as opposed to a fiberglass hull.
Like why not ..... the 223' MS Mount Washington ...
www.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Mount_Washington ... was built in 1888 with an 1888 iron hull and is still totally ship-shape, even better than ship-shape with its new 2010-installed, "federal cash for clunkers" diesel engines.
Here's hoping it makes a wicked BIG WAKE out back, when it cruises past Horse Island ..... a big wake is big fun ...... out there on a stand-up paddle board.
Hey there SPIRIT ...... when you cruise past the south side of Horse Island ..... do whatever you can to make a BIG BIG WAKE ....... cheers! .....

... let's see if you can knock me off my stand-up paddle board. I am 69.6 years old, for the record! ...
