I see a picture of a dude with a beard. But, when I click the start arrow I get: The media could not
be played.

Snerk...it played just fine up here but I'd like to get that 1.36 minutes & seconds back.

I skipped it, figuring it was either militaristic bull****, some
schmaltzy music, or a virus.

Too bad. You missed some serious talent. He even sang it correctly also!

Didn't see that coming!
I don't know how people can do that.

Firefox wouldn't handle it, but Chrome did just fine. Loved it. Thanks!

Well, there was that little one octave jump there. But he did a super job. Wish they'd all sing it like that. Harry wouldn't like the song anyway, no matter who was singing it.

Played fine on Firefox and Win 10 for me.

BTW ... Have you tried the "new" Google Earth specifically designed for
Chrome? Really is very, very good.

I have the regular "Google Earth Pro" for Microsoft Edge and Firefox.
I have Chrome installed on the Win 10 computer as well, so I tried
"Google Earth for Chrome" as well. Much superior to the standard Google
Earth.

Oh ... taking a tip from Wayne:

My daughter was complaining that she never knows where my grandson's
Coast Guard Cutter is when they are deployed. The crew is not allowed
to send info as to their location, which is understandable. My daughter
was telling me that she'd love to see his cutter going through the Cape
Cod Canal when either leaving for a cruise or returning. It was due to
return yesterday following a lengthy patrol.

Anyway, I was thinking about the AIS system that Wayne has described and
uses. For kicks, I opened the website "marinetraffic.com" yesterday and
sure enough, located his cutter yesterday as it was making it's way back
to it's home port in New Hampshire/Maine. It had already passed through
the canal and was just north of Boston when I found it. Followed it's
progress for a while by repeatedly refreshing the browser. Then, this
morning, I checked again and found it tied up to the pier in it's home
port. I zoomed in on the satellite image and it shows the cutter tied
up in great detail ... to the point that you can see people walking
around on the pier.

Amazing technology!

Apparently unlike the Navy, the USCG cutters transmit the AIS
transponder. I just checked it again and the cutter is there but the
AIS signal is no longer being transmitted. Makes sense due to being
shutdown while in port.

My experience with USCG cutters has been mixed, i.e., sometimes they
transmit, sometimes they don't. Too bad you didn't get to see them
going through the canal. That's an ideal viewing spot.

We'll catch it on one of his patrols. I am currently living about 16
miles from the canal and can be there quickly.
