I got a call last night to help move a boat from Newburyport to Boston Harbor. I am leaving right now, 6AM. Everything is charged up and all the memory cards are all empty. I will see what I can come home with, its about a 6 hour trip.

Catch you guys later, hopefully with some good stuff.

    Those are great photos, Dugmar! I saw the airplane shot on the Challenge, I thought.

    But some of these, well, for instance, that shot of the bird going horizontally, guess that is how birds do it :D . Anyway, I love that one, and many more are great also.

    Wish I were there, smile.
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Thanks very much. I did enter the airplane one in the challenge. I had the challenge in mind while on the trip, and I really wanted to enter a Boston City Scape in honor of the World Champion Boston Red Sox! So there you go.

    Great series Doug, thanks for posting them! I like 'em all, but especially the tug with Boston in the background. Must have been a fun trip, even if a bit cold.

    It was 74 degrees yesterday. It was a perfect day for a cruise.

    Thanks for the tour
    I really enjoyed it. Beautiful scenery. Great shots of the plane. He must have flown right over your head. Looks like a fun trip. Thanks for posting.

    Dugmar,

    What a great series of shots. I especially like the chain bridge shot.

    Great way to spend the day on a delivery!
