I actually launched a balloon at the front of the bow of the larger of the two boats that you see off of my stern - it landed maybe a foot or two right in front of it. I didn't even retract the launcher all the way. The crowd I was rafted up with gave a loud "WHOAAA!" when it splashed down. It was at that moment that I realized that I had something good in my arsenal onboard - I shot that one from the 2nd step going down into my cabin. I actually could sit on the bed down below and launch them from there, but I'd need a 'spotter' for that shot...how about we go out one day and launch a few there jak...? LOL!!!

How much Space do you need out there to call your own?

Kind of greedy IMO

Hahaha...I was rafted up with maybe six other boats at Tices at last years Aquapalooza - I own only the three inflatables chairs on the left. When that pic was taken everyone happened to be out of the water...I believe I just opened the jello shot cooler smile Look a little more on the sides of the photo, you'll see the daisy chain isn't even tied to my boat...IMO
