Ship pictures

Well, it's picture day in the field, enjoy it while you can...we never know when a system is gonna crash or develop some mysterious wetness condition around here...

These are from the ship Greg and I volunteered on...there's more in the gallery and they have captions. I havn't figured out how to write in between the pics here yet...

Good, Good :)
Did you get any of me, onboard? When they are looking through my stuff in a few years, after I've been composted, it would be nice to have proof that I was there :p

Here is one that you didn't get to take and one nobody got......

[HoneySuckleBlue]

Oh cool, you can take the other boats out....! That looks so good!!! Makes me want to go work on mine a little more.


I do have one of you Greg, when you were eating those weird cheese things:)

How was the return trip?

[nirgal]

Took the other boats out and lowered her to the waterline, looks much better....


It was a pleasure cruise, warm and sunny, had lunch sitting on the cushins in the Captains cabin, looking out the windows :)
That was taken just past Ft. McHenry after we climbed over the tug boat and into the whaler and sped off to the dock :D
The exciting part was having a front tire delaminate on the overloaded school bus on the expressway :eek: No spare, of course, so we limped to the exit ramp which fortunately had a place for breakfast, and called road servicw, we were 1 1/2 hrs late getting there ...(I had a feeling something was going to happen when I woke up that morning)

[HoneySuckleBlue]

Oh sure all the exciting stuff happens when i'm not there!

I'm glad you guys are all okay though, was there a crowd to see you all off this time?


....That is such a wonderful shot, I just could'nt imagine what we looked like being pulled around by tug boats...now i know:)

[nirgal]

Not much of a crowd at either end, all very laid back. we hauled her in the last 30ft by hand :D

I like your sig picture :)

[HoneySuckleBlue]

Awww, man bet that was hard tying her back up to the dock knowing it's gonna be a long time before she ever moves again.


What a great experience, and you got to do it twice!!

Lucky buggar:p


(Thanks, I like my signature picture too:) I think a new sailboat fixation has taken root)

[nirgal]

Wooden sailboats are an addiction, (schooners in particular) that can only be cured by having one or two or.... a sailboat of any kind, that sails is a good substitute, though :D

I can burn the ones I took on a CD if you like. "Airborn" is supposed to have his on CD for us, he has my email.

Kevin posted some pictures he took here...

I'll have to email flyboy, he was all over the place, he had to have some good ones.

Wow, Kevin got some really good ones!!
