: I see a picture of it leaving the window, and another of it in the process of

: landing wasn't disatrous;-) On what floor was it built?

: Dean

It was only the third floor, although we had it belayed as if we were lowering a victim down a mountain side.

I repeat the first picture at a larger size (I hope) http://image.photoloft.com/opx-bin/OpxFIDISA.dll?SRC=/Photoloft/asset10/2000/07/05/2514/2514727_0_9035.fpx,20

Next one shows the boat falling into good hands. http://image.photoloft.com/opx-bin/OpxFIDISA.dll?SRC=/Photoloft/asset10/2000/07/05/2515/2515261_0_4946.fpx,20

We tested it immediately: http://image.photoloft.com/opx-bin/OpxFIDISA.dll?SRC=/Photoloft/asset10/2000/07/05/2515/2515267_0_9429.fpx,20 This is were I found out that rolling a boat without seat, knee braces or foot pegs is not easy: I had to scull my way up.

To the technically minded, any way of having the pictures appear without the nasty looking URL's. The standard submission form allows only one picture.
