Thank you, it is a very nice boat in great condition. We really like it. It is a lot of boat for a 26 footer. I think it has classic lines that never go out of style.

I use a older camera, Olympus D 580 zoom. It is not even on the Olympus site now. I think there are better ones out there now. I think the Kodak Easyshare ones have more megabytes and zoom. Plus picture stabilizaton.
Here is a picture of the George P. Coleman bridge located at Yorktown Va.

How about this engine. 450 HP Detroit Diesel 671 TI. That is my son standing by the engine. It is one of the engines in our boat now.

Chesapeake Light Tower. You can see it is a parking lot out there when the Spade fish are there. They really are a lot of fun to catch.

I do have to admit it is the camera not me. I do get bad pictures but every once in awhile I get some great ones. Here is the George P. Coleman bridge opening for the Navy ship. God be with them.

Foofer you can go back and edit your post and by clicking the Img button ahead of your link and then the Img* button after each link and it will look like this, all I did was to do that around your link:

Nice fish holder :wink:
I think the easiest way is to start over by clicking and pasting the link as the Img tag always wants to go to the end of the text while editing and one has to move it around the links... you can then just delete the other messages once you have got it fixed.
I hope this helps you and anyone else understand the fine points of getting the actual picture to display in your message.

Foofer b, you have moved the original photo. Get the link for the new one and then at the top of this page click on the link to profile scroll down to where you can paste in the new link to Avatar and then fill in the verification code and you should have it fixed.
