You should try and get out on the water to try it.

I'm near Dallas!
We race on Lake Ray Hubbard, and go down to Galveston Bay for salt water sailing.

Block Island is some exotic location where you might repair a boat.

I've done a lot of repairs there. :-)

Here are a few of my pictures from past cruises:

Too cool, Wayne!
So THAT"S what it looks like there.

I'd like print a couple of those and stick them on the
chart near Block Island and Hope Town.

Makes it more real!

I'll EMAIL the originals to you if you'd like. Let me know if you
have any size restrictions.

Are you talking about Block Island, RI?


On the Martha's Vineyard chart.

Interesting choice of charts for navigation training, huh?

USCG uses that chart with their navigation testing for a captain's
license. As a result it is very popular for class room instruction.

Same chart we used in an advanced nav course here in Washington state.
