The jury may still be out on that one, as some would argue that, "the handwriting is on the wall!"

Looks like someone followed JG1222's example and kicked it up a notch...

I saw that lovely prank on my way through the channel on Saturday.I think the picture speaks for itself.I rest my case.I will say though that's a lot worse than a couple of initials on some unowned(private) concrete.

This is not a Winnepesaukee story but nevertheless a boating story. In 1967 I was a very young Army 2nd Lieutenant and spent a while at Cam Ranh Bay, Viet Nam. I was able to intercept a shipment of three 15' runabouts & 35 hp outboards, water skis etc that were being trans shipped to an R&R center in Qui Nhon. Having been an outboard mechanic before the Army I was able to install the engine and controls on one, get a battery, fuel, trailer & truck to tow it and my other Lieutenant buds and I spent a delightful afternoon water skiing just north of the floating bridge. What a contrast between the Hueys, F4's and C-130's taking off and landing at the air base and us water skiing. I think I was the first ever water skier on Cam Ranh Bay. Fortunately my CO never found out what I was doing.

The next day all 3 boats were shipped out and shortly after so was I. I'll never forget this relaxing interlude in an otherwise exciting year. Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.
