Sea Strainer Saved Me Today!

[Carl C]

Well my new sea strainer saved me from a tow when I sucked up a bunch of shells and weeds after straying out of a channel. This was the first time I had to open my "bling" strainer on the water. I got a few gallons in the bilge but it wasn't too hard of a job. Then once the water was flowing I got a big gob of seaweed in there and had to do it again! It's amazing what these Imco lowers can suck up. Anyway, I would have clogged my whole fresh water system if not for the strainer. Lake St. Clair was hazy and foggy today but still had a good run. I raced and easily beat a healthy sounding 27 (24) Fountain. That was the highlight of the day . Brown's Bar was closed. That was the low part of the day . What does this buoy mean?

Strike out!!!! If you go there. Glad all is OK. I had the Magnum out Sunday,beautiful and lots of boats.

i believe the side you can't see has the ROC on it

[Carl C]

OK, I wasn't aware of any hazard there but I was no where near it. That was 18x zoom. I forgot to mention that I saw what I think was a ZRC. It said "Ilmor" real big on the side. I think it was red. I thought about turning around but quickly came back to reality.....

Carl,

I was making a joke. the size of the bouy and the size of the letter K, ROCK wouldn't fit and if it was some kind of hazard marker or regulatory bouy it would have an orange diamond, triangle or circle on it. I would imagine it is somekind of location or "mile" marker

lol, stupid me didn't even get the joke! I'm sure you are right. There is no hazard there.

Carl,

Local Coast Guard inform me that these white pylon buoys have camera's hidden in them. Homeland Security has some huge building in the metro Detroit area where they continually monitor the waterfront. I have seen them every mile or so down the Lake St. Clair west shore. Be sure to smile and wave as you go by them.

if an Xray machine can't shoot through PVC pipe, a camera damm sure ain't gonna do it either...

they could have underwater sonar monitoring the enemy submarine's though (to continue the superstition thought).... but those sub's have to go through some pretty good locks to get that far..

[Carl C]

Some of the cams are easy to spot, others I'm sure not so easy. That's why I pee off the Canadian side...

The seagull is the camera, duh.

[mattyboy]

the old maxwell smart hidden camera in the seagull trick. I knew it all along.

[roadtrip se]

is for sale on the OSO classifieds, C. And it is local. Not a comp. All red with BIG "Ilmor" lettering on the sides. I am sure the engines are completely stock, considering it is an Ilmor test bed.

Dr DF, you are on your own on the white buoy, cameras are everywhere, theory, but who cleans the lense when the sea gull, scores a bulls eye? Do people stop
and do their "duty"?

As I read matty's post, I hear Max's voice saying it.

I am sure Carl took the pic with his shoe phone/camera.

Funny stuff, yes the Ilmor ZR was sweet. I like the cam in the fake gull theory; Maybe that's why his head was slowly rotating...
