What are you guys doing right NOW??? ;)

Yes, the wind dying off is so frustrating.

Cousins of mine are into sailing big time. They live on the Isle of Wight. One paints marine scenes, one is on the Royal Yacht Club committee, and another is an RNLI volunteer mechanic.

I'm enjoying your posts Skimonkey.

Thanks, Richard!

You have quite a few relatives that are really into sailing as well! Would love to see way their sailboats look like! I am sure just beautifully sleek!

Windquest is owned by the Michigan family that began Amway products. I am sure you have heard of them. Here is a great pic from the Detroit Free Press of their boat the day of the race.




Incredibly...some of the boats are so wide on deck...



Love this pic of all the boats rated off. The dark blue boat is one of my favorites of the race...




And finally, a boat crossing the finish line and passing Round Island Light House. Love the spinnaker...




Sorry to bore everybody of the sailboats, but they are just fascinating to me!!

That sounds like a lot of fun as well! We hunt for Petoskey rocks as well when we are in the Northern part of Michigan. Some beautiful fossil stones there!!

That sounds so cool. I could easily spend all day on a beach looking for interesting shells or teeth and fossils if you are lucky. I recently went to the natural history museum in London which displays the huge folssil remains of a icthyosaur I think it was, that was found in Lyme Regis. Apparantly you can find so many fossils, people would have to drag me away lol.

Oh it is! Although I do advise going in a weekday...too many children on weekends lol. You have the school trips on week days but at least they are behaved lol. It's free admission too and it's by so many sight seeing places you can make a day of it

Yes, we found loads. All that rain has brought down a load of fossils. The ammonites were so easy to find of varying sizes. The students were so excited. There were loads of museum people from all over the world. Many languages. There was a massive Ammonite showing up in the cliffs that our guide showed us. It was filmed by a film crew today. Watch out for that one. It looked massive from below. There was all sorts of glass and pottery to be found from an old Victorian dump that the rain had dumped on the beach. We were on the left side of the beach. Never gone that side before. Definitely worth a visit. It was a lovely sunny day. Everyone was at the seaside. I think some schools have already closed for the holidays. I'll try to photograph some of the finds tomorrow for you guys.

Your architecture thread is wonderful and is great for anybody wanting to see a little bit of what London and other parts of the world looks like!

 

[Richard Brown]
