Okay – generally when we see a boat being towed down the highway – the boat is the biggest thing we see. I have had to pull over to the side of the road sometimes in order for a BIG boat to make its way past me on the two-lane.

That was not the case tonight as I headed to the neighboring town for a class.

This is what turned out in front of me (and slowed me down – but slow was good as I was able to get the camera out of the case and focused in on the motor pushing the boat and car ahead of me.

Even more fun? the oncoming van looks exactly like the one Mr. Moose drives! Only, he was at home snoozing in his chair at that time. 😉 There are at least two other vans that look just like his – and I often get surprised return waves – from people I do NOT know and who have NO clue why I might be waving at them.

Hubby says that the size of the motor is something we are going to be seeing more of as the fins and feathers folks have decided to limit the size of motors on the Kenai River next year.  We’ll no longer be able to run our 2 stroke (I dunno – I think that’s what he said) on the river next year – and the newer one costs WAY more than we have available to spend.

Sigh!

Still, it was a funny sight – that sure looks like a whole lot more motor than that boat needs.
