The About details on the video state:
Lake Lyndon in New Zealand.
The captain of the boat tried to start it after it died in the middle of the lake and it caught fire so he jumped ship and watch it burn slowly. No one could really do anything about it as it had two big tanks of gas on board until a sprint boat SAVED THE DAY!
Legend, give that man a DB.

Open Parachute has released the latest blog rankings for February:
On Wednesday evening at about 6pm we were sitting on a bluff looking down into gully. There was a mob of goats moving through and then we spotted a couple of Reds.
I had my new Bushnell Fusion 1600 ARC rangefinder binos I got from Hamill’s in Manukau. The work brilliantly and so I ranged them up. We were about 100m above them and they were 156m away.
I was the spotter, my hunting partner was the shooter. This deer was slowly walking and feeding. It stood for ages behind a large bush and then popped out into the clearing.
I said shoot, and my hunting partner dropped it. Because to the distance and angle the bullet went in just behind the shoulder and smashed out the front of the chest. The exit wound was massive, left a hole the size of a fist. It must have scored some ribs and mushroomed. Even on Red the Tikka Lite 7mm Rem Mag is devastating.
30 seconds after this one dropped another popped into the clearing, confused with the echoes from the shot and he dropped that one too. Photo in separate post.
Warning NSFW:
A couple of micro penises spotted in the wild at the Sevens tonight.. Please advise the tipline so we can heap more embarrassment on them.
This came in via the tipline:
Not sure of when or where but mildly amusing that the Police manage to spike their own car.
