That was fun... I wanna rowboat now =(

Maybe we can get an outboard motor on that sucker and push it 25hp all the way to BW or Drakken. Mwahahahaha. 25 horses of polluting damage! No one likes sealife any way. Lower the trim all the way.

Wait... Oh... Yea this is a vote FOR rowboats. Cause at the very least it would be a hilarious social addition. And practical for those who have the patience to attempt a journey accross the ocean in a rowboat.
