Mad dogs and Englishmen

While checking Ciao Bella on the Webcam this morning I spotted this eccentric spraying around the harbour in his home modified canoe.

 Looks like he's got a 12v DC motor attached to a board which swivels on the sponson boom.  This has a propeller on the end of a piece of waste pipe.

 When the motor runs and the prop is pushed in the water he does get some forward motion but mainly there is a lot of spray.

It gives me great faith that the English, in general, are still barking mad... Happy St Georges Day :)
