    I was digging through old tapes from my video camera, and I stumbled upon a truly remarkable feat. This has got to be the longest sink I have ever seen. It's like Monty Python: "I'm not dead yet!" "hold on, I think I'm feeling better!"

    Clearly Walter has stuffed his ship with too many ducks, witches, and very small rocks. It just won't sink!

    That was amazing. Exactly what was in that ship to keep it floating like that? I had an Aoba that behaved similiarly when flooded.At that time I had a watertight box for the rudder servo, another for the throttle and receivor and another one for the firing valves. I could submerge the cruiser but it would have enough positive buoyancy to act like a submarine. The main mast would stick up above the surface. The looks on people's faces was priceless when they saw me pull the cruiser up instead of a submarine.
