<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>None whatever. I would suggest that we simply
determine a target--say a fender anchored at a pre-determined (equi)distance
from the participating boats and blaze away. Taking pot shots at other
Albergs is not necessarily discouraged, but the distinct privilege of doing so
should be accompanied by a significant financial contribution to the Association
(do you see where I am going with this?) after (in the case of hits) you pay all
damages caused by your good gunnery. A sliding scale of points (dollars)
owed for hits on Albergs would be like this: Hit on the Commodore's
boat(any of them), $550.00 due the association. Hit on the Secretary's boat,
$450.00 due the Association. Hit on the Treasurer's boat:YOU OWE ME a new
diesel, radar, new Genoa, one of Yves Gelinas's self steering outfits
and $10,000.00. All other boats, $5.00 due the
association. <EM> Have contracts ready to sign. </EM>Any
problems?</FONT></DIV>

<P>Yes, thats exactly what I'm suggesting. <IMG height=12
src="http://216.33.240.24/emsmile.gif" width=12> Probably the distance
the spud flies should be determining factor for trophy. If you want to impress
those jet skiers, attach a silk handkerchief to your spud before ramming it in
barrel, and fire a "shot across the bow (or nose)". Any ideas for cannon
design, event location, and date?</P>

<DIV></DIV>Are you suggesting an A30 version of the Punkin Chunkin that is now
an annual event on the Eastern Shore? I got my tater tool ready.....
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>BTY, the jetskiers are easier to hit if you use the functional
equivalent of buckshot--tater tots, suitably frozen....and it helps if you
slow 'em down with a liberal sprinkling of toothpicks in their area of
operations. The picks float, so the A30's water intakes are not affected if
you need to leave expeditiously.

<DIV></DIV>Mike,
<DIV></DIV>How about a potato cannon competition at one of our raft-ups? The
targets would probably have to be more benign than jet skiers, but it would
still be fun.

<DIV></DIV>It probably comes as no surprise that I have a potato canon too.
They're
<DIV></DIV>easy to make and fun to shoot at jet skiers, but boy do they get
pissed.
