The world-famous sculpture sailed into the port for the first time
Wednesday to kick off the Tall Ships Festival LA and will remain in the
harbor through Sunday. The duck was designed by Dutch artist Florentijn
Hofman and at 61 feet high, 110 feet long 85 feet wide is the largest
rubber duck in the world

"so whats the plan?"
"Galahad, Lancelot, and I will leap out of the rabbit. Catching them completely off guard, and by surprise"
"who jumps out of the rabbit?"
"Galahad, Lancelot, and... well perhaps if we built a giant badger..."

10 Ga. bore maximum. Must use non toxic shot. Some places limit you to maximum of size T shot. Game Warden would tell you to pepper your Angus.

At the basscoat boats invitational they release a bunch of a those onto the lake and if you find the right number they award prizes like a certificate for a new outboard.



I wonder what you win if you show up with that one?
