as a maritime guy and sailor from 12 years old,
and I'm mature now!
It's past midnight over here,
when I see ALL these fabulous pics and details!
WOW!
I know what I do first thing in the morning.
You could as well have posted at the Photoforum!
This will take time to digest, just enjoying your pics,
and for you it must be a once in a life experience
Congrats and thanks for sharing,
and making my morning, about 6 hours from now
