Clearly the boat had seen better days. The windshield and side glass had long since disappeared. I wondered if in fact they had been plexiglass that had turned yellow and opaque. Note also that there is no-one steering up front! As you'll see in tomorrow's photo, even this wire and pulley arrangement was no longer in service, the steering mechanism having been superseded again. But despite the engineering modifications, the boat floated and it got the job done.
Whomp! I hit the cow pretty much dead center. It's legs bucked and it's body rolled up the hood and into the windshield. I saw it all in slow motion, not the split second it actually took.
