Well can you at least work the fish finder ? If you got one of those gadgets onboard.
It would be really cool if you could show some on the equipment you have onboard. Maybe any online navigation software ?

I agree, Mark is the greatest:)

Mark is awesome! I wanna come play too.

hark to mark!!  : )

awwww!!! i'm JEALOUS...i want to BE THERE!! i get you guys NEXT week so HA!! ;) have fun at breakfast this morning.

Gary,

When you had announced you were thinking about marriage, I wrote you an email telling you I am a boat owner/captain and a pretty good photographer (fisherman, scuba dive animal/instructor, underwater video freak and generally a fun time guy) and that I would come there and be your private captain. cause I know how to run your electronics.

BTW the pointy end of the boat is the bow, the other end is the stern. When you're facing the pointy end, the right side of the boat is starboard the left side used to be called larboard, but the American navy changed that to port.

When it's windy, use the wind to help in docking... don't fight it. I could show you.

One more thing, I love your album ATNs. Saves me a lot of time. I beta tested PS back in '87 for Aldus, then for Adobe. Did betas on PS, PageMaker, Illustrator, Quark and a bunch of other graphics app.s. Still do!

So, should you be looking for someone of my description, my 2 web sites; http://www.d-pro.com and http://www.jimcoventryphoto.com

Warmly,

unless your in a canoe, then the pointy end is the stern , unless your facing the other way then thats the bow. Port is a kind of wine.  four letters which is the same amount of letters in left,  port is the left side facing the bow. (none canoe) . starboard is when a famous person is with you...  ARRRGGH,  is it talk like a pirate day???

did that help?
