Chocolate & Boats... Interesting Combo

Two of my favorite things... Chocolate and Boats! I think I'll stick to plywood/epoxy method of boatbuilding though :)

From the BBC News (26 Sept 2010):

A French chocolatier, Georges Larnicol who owns a dozen shops across western France, launched a 3.5-meter chocolate and sugar boat in front of a crowd of hundreds of onlookers in the port of Concarneau, thus winning a bet by successfully building a seaworthy boat from chocolate.
