I bought a boat for $20. Granted that it is a 5 person boat that you pedal like a bicycle. I was in a sporting goods store looking at a pedal boat and thinking how much fun my family and I would have cruising around a nearby lake. I looked at the price tag of $580 and thought that I would try and get it before summer.

I left the store and took my son to baseball practice. On the way to the ballpark, there was the exact model sitting in a yard for sale. It was used, but still in decent shape. A guy came out and said that he had gotten enough use out of it and would take $20 for it. For that price, I thought it woud sink to the bottom of the lake. I tried it out, yesterday, and it works great! My kids are thrilled to have a boat that they can drive.

This was an unintentional manifestation, but far too crazy to be coincidence. I have never seen a used boat like this for sale anywhere, much less on the way to my son's baseball practice. Uncanny that I was just admiring one the morning that I found it for the only price that I could afford that day.
