You're right. I didn't look closely enough.



BTW they are celebrating booty.

The Siren seems to be more fishy, boobs about the same.

I'm not sure what the point of this one is, except that I
have clearly looked up one "Siren" image too many

Ever hear anything at sea that might be the source of the legend of the
Siren's song?


I've heard & seen all sorts of wierd stuff, but never
anything that sounded like beautiful women singing & playing
harps... nor anything that looked like a mermaid either.

The Hunter 19 had a mast prop on the stern that was an
aluminum pole with a crutch at the top. It also had a hole
thru it a foot or so down from the top. This hole would
occasionally blow a series of notes (to the same harmonic),
sometimes even two at once. The first time I heard it, it
did sound like a flute in the distance. But I figured it out
pretty quick... for one thing, it was behind us on both
tacks
