Thread: Project electric kontiki

Following with interest...we have come a long way from inner tube and barley sugar, an uncle tried making a mortar for taking the line out and almost hit a boat a long way from shore due to excessive black powder charge...a friend was showing his mate how carbide and water expanded a balloon to use for taking a line out with offshore wind, balloon expanded until it exploded, problem was they were in his friends menswear shop and ruined thousands of $'s of clothing...insurance paid, but not happy. My effort was using a .303 with over barrel projectile and fired by blanks..hey, this actually worked putting 2 or 3 hooks behind the breakers.

I have a mate with one of these new fangled tiki's but he also has a kayak in case it gets into trouble and he has to go get it...i would not be keen on this going into the water stuff.
