Im sure that is the handle of an outboard trolling boat. What i was interested in was the right foot there and no left foot showing, so either the guy is doing a heck of a splits or he has his left foot in the water. Im thinking that it is in the water and he is pushing the boat along in shallow water with his foot. There is just something fishy about the cut of the picture. It is a small part of a larger picture and im sure the photographer wanted to make sean penn look as good as he could, and putting that foot in the water with the water probably being only two feet or so deep would make penn look more the idiot than he does now.
Ha, i have seen the other pics and now know i was wrong. they had a full outboard motor sitting up on the side of the boat, not a trolling motor. The fat guy with the shoe has his foot crunched up by his leg, and it is obvious that there is no room in that boat for anyone else. These idiots are absolutely not worth our efforts of seeing them or listening to them.
I will be sending no money to this debacle. I will already be paying for it at the pump and through taxes, but i'll be da$%ed if i will give a penny to supporting the rebuilding of an underwater city full of criminals and fools. The mayor and governor should have evacuated those people, the hollywierd folks should have just given money and not showed up. They are nothing but misery pimps.
In the getty photos, the car in the back has water covering about 3/4th of the tire! 18 to 20 inches tops.
