    Your first photograph is wonderful. VP. You have deep blue above and below, a gray stripe through the middle, a tower at one end and the excitement of a boat racing through the middle. Quite a composition!

    I love those little boats. I bet the coast guard has fun driving them around.

    I hope it was a false alarm this time, but it is nice to have these around.
