   I went out in seas like that with the RNZNVR in their ML one day -- 1970s. It wasn't nice, as we had to transfer to the HMNZS Otago via the ship's ladder.

	Thanks Brettania. Have not posted for sometime being busy with the dpreview forums. Now I have to figure out how to do it here again. CC

	Nice pics everybody! Makes me wish the summer boating season would come back sooner. Here are two pics from a recent trip to the Philippines. Both were shot at Manila Bay it was too overcast for a spectacular sunset but there were plenty of boats of all sizes cruising the harbor. 1# "Sharing the Harbor" 2# "Sleeping Banka Captain"

	Some time ago, to my surprise, I saw a large number of boats, near the "harbour" of Enschede (which seems to be an exaggeration to be called that for someone coming from Rotterdam), a large number of boats, not in the water but on the quay beside the water and here is a first shot of that somewhat motley collection: I'll come back to this later.

	Here are 2 examples of "downeast" lobster boats. Downeast refers to a time when boats of this type were predominately built "downeast" on the coast of Maine. "Lily" is an example of a purpose built lobster boat - in this case her purpose of tuna fishing - hence the very tall tower used to spot tuna on the surface. Removed for storage is a very long pulpit (a long narrow metal walkway with a railing) - 20' or so that attaches to the bow of the boat - where a harpooner would stand to throw the harpoon at the tuna on the surface. The tuna targeted by boats such as this are a minimum of 72" in lenght - a fish that size is @ 250lbs. The bluefin tuna grow to in excess of 1,000lbs... The other is a more "general purpose" lobster boat - most likely used for recreational use - cruising, fishing, etc. Enjoy.
