Don't even try. I think I broke their website. It seems to be down. I guess too many people
were trying to click on my links.... Maybe they'll fix it later on.


Cheers,

Here they are. They were taken today.

Not according to the embedded timestamp.

I've seen a bunch of these boats, for a while they were
produced as the Tangerine 18. I have been on/in one but not
sailed one, the cabin arrangement is very practical for such
a small cruiser. They seem kinda slow compared to a racing
class but faster than some small cruisers that size.

BTW if that's your boat, you need new sails. Roll them
instead of stuffing them in the bag, too.


I've lost my baby fat that I had in those other photos.
They were taken five and seven years ago. :-) I've been working out and I'm stronger now.
Kedging off is easy....

She's just leaning way 'way forward.

A friend has told me about color values in JPG files, a pic
that has been cut & pasted into another will be on a
different color matrix. Don't know how to read this myself
but it's one reason why some digital photos will be allowed
as evidence in court. Another giveaway is the double ".jpg"
in the name.

It's known a hue saturation... I can crop from a photo, sample the hue of
the target and apply that to the pasted image so as to make it very
difficult to tell. This method requires detailed mask with a with a selected
pixel transparency rate sufficent to match the resolution of the target and
subject files. It is paramount that both pictures have the same resolution
to be effective. Pixel by pixel editing makes the image very difficult to
identify as a merged object.

That would be a save option.... not the result of a an edit.

They don't have a time stamp embedded. I can't find any in the properties. If there's
one somewhere it probably says January 1, 2002. Every time the batteries go dead in my camera
the date goes back to 2002. I gave up resetting it all the time. I don't use the date on my pictures
anyway.

There's room for two adults and two or three kids to sleep. Two long quarterberths under the cockpit.
Sitting headroom in the main cabin. No stove, no sink, not even a water tank. You have to take everything
like your going tent camping.

Your right. The sails are originals and pretty stretched out. The mainsail is in better shape than the jib.
The jib has a wire along the front. It's all rusty and the sail is stained. It needs a leech line. The leech flaps
when going upwind. It's about impossible to roll up the jib. The wire's too stiff. If I roll the mainsail it won't
fit in the bag. It's too long. It's easier to stuff them. They're not for racing. They're colorful for day sailing
around. They look OK from a distance. They get smoother after a couple hours up.

Beauty's in the eye of the beholder. If you don't have anything good to say try keeping quiet.....
Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me. :-o~

Ya know...there's not enough new people who wander in here that this
ploy will work....

I suppose there could be two different suns shining from two different
angles.

Uh, folks...c'mon. That is not his boat. I've seen the pics somewhere
before and quite a long time ago. The porn star pasted in is pretty,
and you only need to look to the left side of her to see the horizon
doesn't match the angle on the right side. You can also see the paste
job in the water and other artifacts. Metadata from my ACR program says
File Written By Adobe Photoshop 5.

As to the boat....it looks like something AMC built to be towed by a
Gremlin.

Sailing today, folks. Enjoy.
