Gary’s Jeep and Boat

Gary shot this photo of his jeep and boat. He says it really helps to have the jeep for putting the boat into tight, uneven locations on small lakes, like the one below at Binnewater Lake in Rosendale, NY. Looks like a beautiful day for sailing.

    Funny- More than one passanger has commented that driving in the Willys is puttering in a motor boat. In fact, those drain holes would be called “scuppers” if the thing was a boat.

    Like a Willys Jeep, the sail boat- a dory, is versatile and is designed for work. They used to stack these things on big schooners. They were used to haul nets and were designed to carrying massive loads of fish. This boat rows better than it sails. No motor necessary. The Jeep compliments the boat so well. Now if I could only find wheels that “float my boat”- don’t care for the “modern” steel wheels the Jeep wears.
