    That certainly gives on a sense of scale! Cute little sailboat. The penitentiary police have a sports club? Sounds like a good idea!

    That is a lovely perspective. And . . . the penitentiary police sports club? That is new.

    May the prison police enjoy the open seas and air for a while.
    I like the PILOT and TUG written on the ship.

    Sure is a big difference in size! I guess the sailors in the small boat know what they are doing but it looks like they are far too close to the ship.
