Re: Donald Campbell's restored Bluebird in museum home row
Did you just say "Lake Winnebago"?
15x50km and 6m deep with many access points and little bureaucracy.

The local sailing speed record was 143mph before Donald got started.

Re: Pic of the Day
Progress defies words, as ever over past some years.
