Still a nice shot. She was gone when we were there. Mostly "little guys" around that were around 200 feet long. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

We were on a day trip on a pretty good sized cat in early December and we went right by the Eclipse where she was anchored. Comparing our cat to this yacht I felt like we were afloat on a toothpick and it seemed like it took forever to go by her. Looking straight up at her you had to crane your head to take it all in. She sure is a beauty........ <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Wow Pat, you just reminded me of when I learned to sail....around aircraft carriers. Now THAT's size! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
