Couldn't sort out whether this should be a "View at Breakfast" or "Caption This" subject - so they both won out. This guy from Montana cruised past the house this morning. Cool boat, neat little business (floating dockside gallery) and in the midst of an awesome trip - Montana to Maine and beyond.

Caption could be: "Having braved conditions so windy, even the Tidybowl Man was getting seasick, Bob decided to motor inland in search of calmer waters."

I know - doesn't make much sense if you don't remember the TidyBowl TV commercials but hey, it's early on a Sunday morning.

Anyone else?
 
Honey, pass me that bowl, would you? Not that bowl. THAT one. No, THAT one. No, THAT one. Never mind, I'll make a new one myself.
 
Life is like a chair of bowlies...
 
Makes me wonder if he's a plumber or a potter.
 
The man's got some bowls dressin' up his boat like that! ;-)
 
Saw a similar rig at Roche Harbor last year around the Fourth of July.

Unless I'm mistaken, that would be a reference to the MV Phecal Phreak, a boat that goes around the harbor pumping out other boat's holding tanks. Motto: "We take crap from anyone". This is getting off topic, however, as the boat in the photo appears to be that of a craftsperson who offers handmade wood bowls for sale. Perhaps he uncouples the propeller shaft, installs a lathe chuck, turns a few bowls, puts the shaft back on... ;-)

I was wondering the same thing...If he was to charge taxes for the products he sells while on the water, who would get that tax money?...what state?...

That is a good question to which I don’t know the answer. I was thinking more along the lines of the boat being his “store”, “office” or “place of business” and writing off the whole thing (boat, insurance, fuel etc.). If he hasn’t thought of that he needs to check with John Kerry and Tim Geitner.

Oh you wacky Canadians!
(I think he can go the whole home office/business route. Was going to ask but he never responded on 16.)
 
I just saw that same BOWLMAN yot go by East Chop on Martha's Vineyard, heading west at 7:30pm tonight. I thought the boat looked familiar then I saw the name. Practically bowled me right over.
