My eldest son's first catch, taken in 2004:



When I showed him how to gut them, he got so upset he got a nosebleed (see below pic). Poor little gaffer, he was somehow under the impression that we were taking them home to be pets... I had no idea, I though he was clear on the concept.

Dan,
It's a Greek island named Santorini. A lot of good info in the wikipedia on the place.

Sure looks like the experience took its toll on him, but also that he toughed it out like a trooper. Did he eat the fish?

Not really unless the internal bulkhead is also trashed - the biggest $$ is matching up the paint. - Plus a McGregor - a roomy boat - but not the best sailing one out there.

If a mast is also needed, the stick and standing rigging along with the glass repairs would make this a lot of money for a little boat (that is not the best sailing one).

Today at Mt. Rushmore

We're on a Tech Scout for National Treasure 2. Some of these shots were taken from the top of the head of George W (no, the other one ) Except for the first shot, the rest are definitely NOT on the public tour.



This is the Hall of Records behind the heads where the sculptor wanted to store permanent documents that would explain what Mt. Rushmore was if someone found it thousands of years later, sort of like the pyramids in Egypt.

You can see the drill marks in the granite. They basically drilled it out with thousands of drill holes.

The perpetual documents for history are 23 porcelean plaques explaining what Mt. Rushmore is are sealed in this monument. Again, not on the public tour.



Me standing on the top of George Washington's head looking down at Lincoln. No guardrails no cables. Definitely not on the public tour.
