I've observed the same thing too...where the life preserver is!
I think the stilts we see in the photos are employed for balancing the boat when the hull goes up out of the water. (But how?)...However, I'm no longer capable of explaining anything more...no more physics stuff!!!

A hot summer weekend of haphazard wandering
Hi all, I'd like to share some of my photos taken when things become so haphazard, wandering in Tokyo during a hot summer weekend. Sorry for no any photo description (even a short one)...a free will leading to both free horizontal thinking and free vertic...
All great shots Joe...
.... every one a winner. Well done, and thank you. Cheers, pplater.
Thanks for the travelogue…
Very Nice, Joe, I really enjoyed your nature and food shots and particularly that little green frog. I made it my computer wallpaper today, but all my icons are camouflaged! Regards Andrew
Very nice pics, Joe T

Question
Is the Pierre Kunz infinite loop watch out already in Japan? That's the top of my buy list for this year. Thanks. Nice pics. cen@jkt

Helen, thank you very much for your....
lovely description for the photos. I like the first one..."The carpet of flowers leading to the city with green life in the middle of the city." About that colorful boat image, it's the "high-speed boat" commuting between Tokyo and its small islands locat...
Still wondering
Joe, The high-speed boat looks like it’s sitting on pillars in the front and back with nothing in the center. Is this correct? What’s propelling it? Puzzled, Helen...
I'm not sure but it is...
a kind of hydrofoil (wings flying in the water) boats. It is not a hovercraft. More speed increases more lifting force and thereby raising the boat out of the water while traveling. Since I'm not an expert in boats, I think more information can be found f...
Now I understand
Joe, It’s still a bit confusing how two stilts can make a boat go super fast causing it to rear up out of the water. Actually, I feel the same bewilderment about airplanes; f rom the moment it takes off till leveling off I have a serious queasy feeling ab...
