Step 6: Explain Yourself to the Authorities
As you can imagine, our steampunk-sleigh-electric-generator-inflatable-hot-tub contraption attracted some attention. It wasn't long before a ranger cautiously approached to ask us what the hell we were up to.
Brett was ready for him, though, armed with a stack of printouts on beach usage regulations and email correspondence with various bureaucrats discussing said regulations. He unleashed a torrent of minutiae at the ranger, somehow still maintaining total politeness.
The ranger, bewildered, simply said, "Look, I just want to know that you're not going to try to use that inflatable thing as a raft."
"Ah," we said, "No."
He was satisfied with that, so our hottubbing was on!

We used 6000 liters water, delivered by the local fire department and heated up with old radiators.
