Chris~ I have some photos - but dinner guests arriving any minute now. Will post innthe morning. Stay tuned! SJS

Jode~ Well...I guess she's gorgeous alright, but....I can't tell which way she's heading.... I'll ask her when I see her at Tuckerton in a few (not enough1) weeks now. Pretty sure my vessel will arrive "in progress"! All the best, SJS
