A B C'S OF BOAT REPAIR...GHOST SKIFF...

One day nothing...then Halloween, and WALAAAA PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SAND- WITCH'S...hint...hint...an upside down boat....spooky...
I travel by bike quite a lot by this small concrete pier, a common place to wash clothes; electric bikes and motorcycles...the odd car...but today, a little lake skiff.
The little boat is made from a steel bottom and married together with timber...this one more steel than tree...as you can see by the welding of the plates to the bottom.With it's small engine it propels it nicely around Qingshan lake.
I really don't know when it came here or even how the flipped it over...i haven't noticed too much movement on the lake these days with the skiffs, but to me this is interesting...this is how it is done here...no expensive docks; no complicated lifting devices and no repair shops...
A. Just get the boat, B. flip the boat, C. arrive with your welding device on your electric bike and a big charged battery...then repair...
Oh yea...bring a friend or 2...for help and company...
i will go and see if its still there...upright and floating...
