Hope that's quick drying paint the guy's using.

I guess the tide comes in fast there. These new photos are just
wonderful. That camera is a perfect thing in your hands.


Not sure how fast the tide come in, but I wouldn't like to be painting
the vessel when it does come in.

All my photos prior to 03-2003, where made with the Nkion F301
& FX90 Pro film cameras.
From 03-2003 I changed over to digital with the Nikon D100, so as
I could use my older Nikon lens. This one lasted until 2009, when I
got rain water into the works while out photographing a broken down
train. The camera was sent for repair estimate, but at an estimate of
£1,200,
I decided not to go ahead with the repairs.

Earlier this year I took a chance on buying a replacment D100 body from
Ebay for £156. This is the camera I'm using now.

Seems to me I remember something about bottom paint completing drying
in the water. Anyone know for sure.
