East Coast Pictures

[Santana379]

I'm still so pleased with myself at successfully posting my first pics on the forum that I thought I'd put a few more up here, with no good reason or theme except they're all taken on the East Coast:

1) These ships are about to pass port to port in the bend at Pin Mill - glad my mooring isn't there.

2) I'm not sure that this is the most secure way to tie up a dinghy.

3) A year or two ago there were a quite a few lobster pots marked this way - reckon they nicked the ensigns from boats wearing them when no one was aboard.

4) Thought this was cute.

5) I reckon the Walton lifeboat heard I was out sailing, and decided to stand close by in case....

Great piccie - one ship at a time is bad enough on the Orwell!

P.S. can you reduce your pics a bit more so they fit on the screen. You can set the size options to 640x480 so they upload to that automatically.

Sorry about the photo size - guess I've got a bit to learn yet. They looked OK on my oversized 18" widescreen laptop.

So that's where my ensign got to!

Always nice to see EC photos and there can't be too many for me.

Cool Piks. Excellent.

Kermudjon, was your boat still attached?

 

[johnalison]

Oh dear; only joking. My family complain about my attempts at humour too.

Ramsholt /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif - best food /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif - you've got to be kidding.

Last meal - ever - I had there, wasn't even defrosted properly.
Cold & crunchy rice. Microwave on the blink? /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
