We also missed this topic when it was original. Like the idea a lot and will come up with something.
We have a working potato cannon (bought ‘cause the wee g’son needed one!) which I’ve been thinking I’d like to have out on the water. Here on Hamilton Harbour the tall ships occasionally let off a cannon shot. What reaction will/might i get when I return fire? Maybe have to get some Mac buddies out for a rendezvous!

Is geo-caching and sailing (including night-time sailing ) still a ‘thing’ anywhere?

Returning fire with a potato gun might have the Mounties waiting for you at the dock. :evil:

Maybe one of those old Carbide Cannons like I had back when I was a whole lot younger and shorter…🤔

For those of us with kids, I still think this is one of the classic Macgregor posts. :P

Our ham radio club has "transmitter hunts" where one person goes out and hides a miniature transmitter and the rest of us take our portable radios and find it. None of us are less than 50 years old. I guess we're all kids at heart.

They'd prob try to fry the potatoe up and cover it in poutine.
