An elderly sailing buddy (who used to own Alden Yachts and bought his first boat--a 150-foot wooden schooner--from Prince Ranier of Monaco) had a great example of this. He was anchored in the BVIs, in one of his Aldens, and was awakened from a nap by someone knocking on the side of the boat. He said he was looking down over the side at George Harrison in a dinghy who politely asked if he could borrow some limes.

Well, you sure are in boat country now. Hardly a place to point your camera without something interesting. Great pics.

The info on Bruce Kessler was very interesting and I drive by the James Dean memorial on a regular basis in fact they are making that road into a 4 lane all the way to Paso Robles.
Out of interest my father in law many years ago lost the prop off his plane along with three of the four engine mounts not far from that memorial. Luckily after all the engine oil was blown off the windshield he landed it at Lost Hills, he said the silence after losing the prop was deafening.
It was found that 1/2 the prop ripped off leaving the other 1/2 still attached and that centrifugal force is what tore the engine mounts off and luckily the other 1/2 prop left the shaft before the 4th mount gave way other wise it would have been bad.
He just gave up his license at Christmas after 53 years flying - His stories of the crop dusters that flew for him as well as Sean Tucker the well known Oracle pilot - keep me riveted.
