Ot: ever see a 55' boat dive into the water?

Some Friday night fun. As you can see by the gentleman in the upper right corner of the boat this isn’t photoshop’d.

Happened to me last Thursday. Hate when that happens.

I had that happen with my 56 footer. No big deal, I just ordered two more.

Crazy that they actually got pics of it. I thought it was fake at first too but after seeing the other pics that go with it realized how real it is!
Here’s what the boat should look like, a beautiful 55’ Marquishttp://www.yachtforums.com/forums/attachments/general-yachting-discussion/18605-splash-81389_p_t_640x480_image05.jpg

Quick thinking by the captain in swinging it over the side as it went down kept it from falling on the helicopter deck of my yacht. That would’ve been annoying.

so how exactly does a boat do that with no one at the wheel? wait the seat cover is even on. wait there is no turbulence. i call bs. photoshopping that guy in would be no problem.

Looks like the hoist snapped. Great timing for the photographer to be there.

That would be sensible.

I hate when that happens too. Happened to me last year, then last week I crashed my Lear:

This is almost as “on topic” of triathlon as the dog porn thread.

I did that too! forgot to put the wheels down again - silly me. I did get another pair however.

Shut up newbie.

Dude that thread (and the one with the chick with the bone) made me hot.

“Shut up newbie.”

Wow, well that sure was a nice thing to say. No wonder people call this “slowbitch”…just so kind.

Nevermind then, carry on. I guess I just thought a triathlon thread would have posts about triathlon. Whatever.

I believe Dan has an actual forum rule that dogs are ALWAYS on topic.

This gets brought up every now and then thus R10C’s “Shut up newbie” which I’m pretty sure he meant with a little smiley thing at the end…

I came back from a race. I didn’t have the bike on the roof of my truck, but I forgot about the ferrari
in the garage.

“This gets brought up every now and then thus R10C’s “Shut up newbie” which I’m pretty sure he meant with a little smiley thing at the end…”

Seeing as how I also received the private message below from R10C about 20 seconds after he posted “shut up newbie”, I don’t think there was supposed to be a smiley. I think he might just be a little bit of an @ss.

"You want to call others out - please post your real name and location. If you dont, you may just be another internet troll.

I am out there man, as are many others. My name is Chip and I am on Slowtwitch"

He sounds like a nice enough guy.

Not sure if it’s real though because the second shot (that you posted) clearly shows a chain which is not visible in the first shot.
