Lovely capture and comp, Chris!! Would love to be on either of those boats... #6983279

Thank you both for your welcome comments. I would enjoy being on either of them also. Many, many years ago I use to sail in the yacht races with my Father. Lately, I've been thinking about going on one of those charter sailing boats around Sydney Harbour. I'd like to have a look around one of these cargo ships too. I really enjoyed looking through a submarine a couple of years ago. #6983299
