right. that coastie boat running around in the background, broadside to
the waves, is built in Bristol, Rhode Island.
dumbass.

I wasn't able to view the first video on my computer, but was able to
see the second one (NYOB? posted) with the CG 44' MLB (motor life boat)
doing MOB drills with Oscar, if what I suspect is true and the first
video also had a 44' MLB, Then just to set the record straight. All CG
44 MLB's were built in the CG Curtis Bay yards, Baltimore,MD. UD

No, the first is of boats returning to Depot Bay, OR. during a storm. Is
a
really narrow S channel, with big rocks lining the channel, and big
swells.
There is a CG boat keeping watch, but is not a 44, but a double ender.



Bill, I think I've discovered what may be your problem Last night I was
trying to view some of the olympic videos on NBC.com and could get none of
them to play.

I even downloaded and upgraded to Windows Media Player 10, thinking my old
version 8 was the problem. Still wouldn't work.

Then I looked at the same site in Internet Explorer instead of Mozilla. It
worked.

I just went back to Rich's site and tried it with IE. Waited about 5
seconds for it to download, and it came right up!

Good video too. I'd hate to have been one of the folks on the boat that
almost surfed right into the rocks. Would've had to send my jeans back to
LLBean 'cause the brown spots wouldn't come out!

I use IE and had no problems.
