I think inspiration like that qualifies as a perfectly good reason to take a day off from boat work stuff. :)

could not see any photos, only a grey page with navigatiion instrustions in the lower left corner.

Donald - I don't know what program the slide show is in, but it came right up for me. Whatever it is, I must already have it on the computer.

It's worth figuring out.

Sorry Donald that you couldn't see the slide show. :eek: It's an Flash file. What OS are you using? And do you have ActiveX on it? I'm trying to make my webpages as universally accessible as possible.:o

Amazing! How many of us will ever see this?

Thanks for sharing, Ken. It's opportunities like the above that make deposits in your Karma Bank.

Reminds me of sailing off Newport in '76 watching vessels like this make land fall after the race from Bermuda.
