Can Beer Can Drift Boats be Far Behind?

I can hear the conversation already: “But honey, I’ve gotta drink this twelve pack so we can finish the mizzenjib.”

Beer Can Boat

This nine-meter, beer-can boat survived a trip from Ipswich to Brisbane, Austrailia (no, we don’t know where Ipswich is), so the Underground naturally wonders how beer cans would hold up on the Upper Rogue (or maybe the Madison).

Made from 8000 “FourX Gold” cans (and a lot of silicon adhesive), this craft is truly a marvel of naval engineering. And if it’s not that, then it’s marvel of drunken vision. And if it’s not that, then… well, let’s just all have another beer.

so, when the harbor patrol comes alongside to inspect the vessel how do you avoid the citation for open container?

Judging by the dejected looks of the crew, it is assumed that they have already begun rationing the remaining pretzels.  (Quote)

It’s more likely they just realized they built the boat out of empty beer cans, not full ones.  (Quote)
