What Is It?

Announcing a SlowBoat Contest! From time to time we'll post oddball pictures and ask you to guess, "What IS It?"  First correct answer will get a shout-out on the blog and a tacky postcard by snail mail.

The photo at right was taken in Collins Inlet, where we saw dozens of similar buildings.  We can tell you what it ISN'T--it's not a summer cottage.  So, what IS it?

There's also a (somewhat new) tab on the blog called "Laughs."  Check periodically for your laugh of the day.

And let us know if you'd like to visit our boat.  We love visitors!

Did you know that you can follow this blog on Twitter or Facebook?  Each time there's a new post, you'll be notified. Check the links on the home page (and if you are not sure what to do, ask the nearest teenager).

We are docked in the town of Little Current and have internet access!  Another new post follows this one.

  6. Ice Shak

    The name of the picture gave it away.

  7. Remnants of shelters building by earlier boaters whose boats sank in the middle of the night due to hitting rocks when their anchors were not set properly.

  8. (Sound of game show buzzer) Greg and Curt are right! (Randy gets honorable mention for most creative answer.)

    This is one of many ice houses hauled out on land for the summer. Curiously, I spotted one of these ice shacks, not on shore, but high on a cliff. Wussup with that?

    Greg, I know how to find you; Curt, send your snailmail address to my Penn State email, and you both win tacky postcards!
