    This is not my boat, or my photo.

    It is my current wallpaper.

    Far too many summer pictures. Doesn't anyone go on the water in the winter?

    Here are a couple of pictures of the William McLoon near Swan's Island a few years ago.

    Yeah, what's up with that? Kaa has the prettiest boat(Eun Mara) and is a kick-a** photographer and yet we get no pictures.

    Actually, I think these guys are all traveling. We just have to be patient.
