(PUP) A Great Photo

We can all argue about our favorite vessel types and their superior
characteristics and make deprecating comments about the other guy's
boat; and it's all good fun. But, for many it is the thought of the
destinations that keep us motivated.

Some of us read the popular literature and enjoy the photos, but so
often those photos of idyllic sunsets have boats in them - which
always seems to invoke comment, at least internally. (E.G. "What a
strange bimini arrangement and why does that moron have his fenders
down while he's at anchor at Palmyra?"

Anyway, this photo really speaks to me. I have it posted by my desk
and it embodies why I personally want to again, make a wake West:

Hope you enjoy it.
