I forgot to clean the sink first, but just checking the floating ability and for any leaks on this boat camera mount. So far, so good. I have to paint the vessel. I don't actually have the camera inside the houseing that is shown in this pic. I need to do that in finding out the best location on the float boat to mount the camera mount.
The float is fixed to a net. As seen through a hole in the hull.
A windy day at The Lade, Lydd on Sea. We managed to keep kites in the sky all the afternoon but when the wind hit 18mph felt discretion was the better part of valour
this is what the floats look like in Kuroishi, Aomori prefecture. Shaped like a fan, the towns people push/pull it down the road
These birds are flying off and on and very difficult to capture. However, I succeeded to take a few great pictures, I think.

To get the feeling of Mardi Gras year-round, visit Mardi Gras World, the largest float designing and building facility in the world. Here more than 80 percent of the floats that journey down New Orleans' streets during the Carnival season are designed and built.
Begun in 1947 by float designer and builder Blaine Kern, Mardi Gras World provides visitors with the opportunity to don authentic Mardi Gras costumes and tour enormous warehouses filled with floats. The tour includes a short video and guide who is quite knowledgeable about Mardi Gras history and customs. And for a taste of Mardi Gras, king cake and piping hot New Orleans coffee are served.
During the tour, visitors learn about the many traditions surrounding Mardi Gras parades, balls and music, as well as the intricacies of float designing and building. Mardi Gras floats began rumbling down New Orleans streets in 1837 with mule-drawn carriages. Today the tradition continues with sophisticated mega-floats, which hold more than 200 masked riders and are lit with fiber optic cables and laser lights.
