Nitnat Hot Tub
What do you get when you mix rainy weather, bored windsurfers and bored kiteboards with time on their hands at Nitinat?  A HOT TUB!  That's right, a feat of scientific genius created an actual HOT tub (too hot at times) on the beach at Nitinat - they had a pump pumping water out of the tub into 70 feet of coiled copper coil that was in the fire with water heating up through the coil they routing back into the tub!  The pump was run by a generator and the tub was made by digging out sand in the middle (to act as a bench for the feet) and cutting logs up to place around with a tarp in the centre - voila!  Sure felt good after a long day sailing..........

wow, quite the project but....ok, gotta put my safety hat on here....you guys know about legionaires right Question This stuff kills people so I hope you added some chemicals, holy crap Shocked I'll do some research on how salt water affects things but I'd change the water every 2 days
