Favorite pictures

Yesterday morning.

Hi, thought I would try my hand at loading photos and post some of my favorites. I took these from the heights above Cochem, Germany and illustrate a boat handling skill that seems impossible.

Is the C&H plant still under the bridge in Crockett? Been a long time since I've been home.

I didn't take this (wish I had) but it my new favorite. It is the ore carrier Edgar B. Speer entering the Sturgeon Bay ship canal this January for winter lay up.

Well, if not directly under, very close, nearby.

Yup...it's still there and going strong. Just did a slow fly-by (upstream and against the current) past it a couple of weeks ago. It's much more interesting up close than at a distance.

Here's another angle, but that damn sailboat got in the way!!



From this angle it looks like it's under the bridge.

Really awesome.

Following are a couple of my most-recent and favorite pictures:

She arrived at 11:48 PM on the 23rd. Harper Jayne weighed almost 18 pounds, measured three and a half feet, has an IQ of 843. She can sing the national anthem in ancient Latin -backwards-. She already saved four trees, a whale, two walruses and an endangered pygmy goat!

A chip off the old block, I see! Cute kid.

This is a photo I took of Meander during last falls trip through Canada's Heritage Canals. It found its way to the "centerfold" of January's Power and Motoryacht magazine.

Eric - Looking at the hull shapes regarding your boat and the big boat photo on your post # 132... can your boat now be called "Mini Me"!
