A very unusual mod

Post by NiceAft »

This week (Sept. 24th) starts the Jewish holiday of Sukkoth. It is normal for jews to build a Sukkah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkah Please just use the previous web address as a Cliff Notes refference. I don't want this to be pushed into the pub.

Anyway, we decided to build one on Nice Aft :D

Ray,
Absolutely marvelous. I believe this is the first time I have seen a Sukkah and to see one on a Mac is a credit to the board! However I believe this will be a handicap for your white hulled :macm:

Rick, No watercolors on the boat. My next mod may be some fuzzy dice. Do you know where I can get any :?:

Very very cool.
Thanks for the link about the Sukkah. Very interesting.

Did you nail that frame into the fiberglass? :wink:

Your boat name takes on a new meaning.

True. Especially in salt water.

...and if I remember my diversity training, if it rains on your Sukkah, it is interpreted that you have displeased God in some way (but you get to bail out and go inside....)
