Can you post pictures? Check with your provider about how to build a webpage (if you haven't already). It's easier than I thought it would be, although it does take time. I'd love to see the pictures, if you have them, and can post (or email) them.

> There were probably 100 wooden boats there, but clearly the outstanding
