Tides were pretty low on the other half of the cycle.

It was interesting to study this harbor. This is where I haul my
boat, and I never really knew how wide the channel was. Not
show in the picture is a piling off to the left, which lined up with
the buoy in the distance, makes a nice range on the channel edge.

Rob must be dumping his holding tank near the intreped. The highest
tide of the year and 5 harbor tugs could not pull the Intrepid out of
the NY sludge. Trapped in crap she is.

Yes, I have a really good copy of that on one of my old hard drives in
storage. The A-6 pilots I mentioned earlier told me all about it before I
seen the video. I have some pics of me in the cockpit. I should have
posted them since they are Navy. Sorry you didn't like the astronaut pics.

patches, pictures, stickers, posters, ect...I even picked up a chromed
set of explosive bolt bookends that came from the apollo 11 launch. My
dad was with NASA & General Dynamics and we have been surrounded with
astronauts and astronaut collectables since I can remember, My first
memorys are of the space program, I have a chest in storage full of
every apollo and Mercury fight patches. Post your address here and Ill
