Oh!! We love them too - we *almost* bought one back in the Bahamas from our friends but it was just too big for our little Rassy :(. Something to aspire to though...xo

That's one cute dinghy!

Which of course reminds me of the famous Dr. Demento song...you've heard of it of course? ;D

ok, I'm kidding - here are the lyrics:

He's got the cutest little dinghy in the Navy,
And all the girlies know that it's so!
The cutest little dinghy in the Navy,
They love to watch him go heave-ho!


It isn't very long and it isn't very short,
It's built for speedy action and it gets him into port!


It isn't very narrow and it isn't very wide,
But you should see that thing go in and out with the tide!


The cutest little dinghy in the Navy,
Heave-ho, heave-ho!


Now I have seen a hundred other dinghies,
And I'm qualified to remark
He's got the cutest little dinghy in the Navy,
Why, I would know it even in the dark!

Me too!!!

Your post reminded me of this post I just came across about a solar dinghy. It is a nice looking blend of old and new. Here is the link for you:
