Little Bear RC Tugboat

Spring will soon be here.  It’s time to charge the batteries and make sure both water canons work.  Last year I bought a spare after I burned out a windshield washer pump for the upper water canons.  Kids of all ages like to be chased down and squirted by the bear tugboat at the pond. 

Yes, this is a radio controlled tugboat I built years ago.  It’s 3 feet long, 12 inches wide, weighs 37 pounds.  It is powered by two electric motors with a smoke generator.  Gingerbread scented smoke wafts up through the smoke stack.  

That little GoPro camera was lost to the depths of the pond when my 60mph RC speedboat flipped.

It stopped by for a rest.

 

Red on the Pond

Photo from summer’s past.  We wait patiently for our ponds and lakes to thaw and go sailing again.
