Having another play at the creek. Condition of the areas' surface is dependent on weather. One day it can be really smooth, next big sand corrugations and creek edges due to wave action. Hard to get the perfect day. As can be seen, the creek is a bit rocky as well. Fun all the same.

Orca’s eh? They are in the waters off B.C. but not the waters of Ontario as we are freshwater. A quick search of Nobbly are these a type of shark?
Those are scary videos of the Orca pods swarming those vessels and the wakeboard we. Especially when you know these things eat seals and attack infant blue whales.

Nobby Clarks, Noah's Arks, -rhyming slang for sharks down here Ron. We have a population of around 250 Orca in NZ waters, but they apparently have different habits to Orca elsewhere. eg,- the don't seem to be interested in seals or sea lions, mainly stingrays, skates etc. The pics in the last post were of part of a pod of orca, just off a beach north of Auckland near where I live, the mother was teaching the calf to catch stingrays right in almost to the small beach there.
No-one's ever been attacked by them here, and they seem more curious than dangerous, and often come up to surfers, kayakers and boats for a look. They quite often come up the harbour in Auckland as well. There will be no sharks to worry about with them in the area, - probably safer swimming with them around.

Finally got a chance to have a better go with it in the water. Tried to catch the slack tide, but missed it again, so had the outgoing current to deal with. Still had a bit of fun with it, but the sand was just thick and silty again (needs low tide to dry out), so the truck had trouble getting out by itself. Water was also full of long pine needles and sticks which didn't help either. Fun all the same.

Trying the fire fighting capabilities on a meths fired Macrocarpa leaf fire, (I forgot about the rotation function, which made it less effective,) but it still worked ok. On Board tank is only 500ml so doesn't last long.

From a design concept incorporating an old power boat destined for the rubbish tip ! - to a functional Camera platform to capture some of the fantastic models that sail at our local venues.
The emerging creation ( all be it rough and ready !) will incorporate rotating fan motor and 360 degree rotating camera with live feed FPV camera.
My enjoyment is to capture the the skill, time and effort that fellow modelers put into their creations - whether they be they scratch built, own designs, kit sets or off the shelf.

I have taken the old wooden hatch cover off to find out what was inside there was something that moved around when you tilted the boat found the end of a hand made brass anchor and the remains of some sort of leaf or plant the joints are sealed with tar the inside has been carved out i find it very strange that the two items were sealed up inside i think it is very old possible the 1900
