So i found the boat. It was the night before the reenactment. Tyler and I made the hour long trip up to Beaufort, SC. I should also mention it was ten at night and we were looking for a street with no name. surprisingly enough we found it, the last line of directions we were given was, "turn off into the field, drive between the trees, and the boats by the lake." So there we are in the pitch black driving through somebodies yard. In the distance out headlights danced apon a watery surface and then we saw it. The largest wooden row boat i have ever scene. you could hunt whales in this thing, it was over 16 feet long and well over two hundred pounds, it was longer than the damn truck we drove up there. But still in the grips of absolute denial Tyler and I dragged the mammoth vessel out of the lake and to the back of the truck, we even went as far as lifting the bow of the boat and resting it on the bumper. We looked at eachother and broke into hysterical laughter, dragged the bastard boat back to the waters edge and got some fast food to fill the void were our row boat once lay.
So we shot he reenactment with out a boat, footage came out beautiful, and i can honestly say I'm pretty pleased. I'm trying to get someone to cover my shift so i can shoot a bass tournament tomorrow, but it's not looking promising.
