I'm back
Posted by EdGrune on Thursday, May 27, 2010 8:28 AM

I'm back.   

I just returned from a "deployment" to Curacao,  Aruba, Domenica, St Thomas and San Juan.    It was rough,  but someone had to do it.

They wanted 65 cents a minute for internet access.  I don't like you that much Stick out tongue

I was surprised at Curacao,  it has a very large shipyard and drydock facility.   We watched several container ships enter port during our stay.

 

Here is the Inga H out of Monrovia.   An excellent study in weathering.  She recently had her bow repainted. 

I'll post my shots of her as she sailed by in a separate thread.  Good details
