Not exotic so much, but Galveston Bay IS a whole other world

WOW KK!!!
Those are amazing!
I didn't know Galveston could be so beautiful!

Molly - I have a lot of really nice shots of Galveston/Texas City/Kemah. It's sometimes too easy to overlook how pretty the area really can be when you are so used to seeing it all the time. I grew up in Texas City and spent a lot of time in Galveston as well.

Hull of a place...

Galveston does look nice......except for that whole 'being in Texas' thing.



***ducking***

Hey, that last one wasn't tropical at all... unless Hell has frozen over!

Actually "Hull" has frozen over.

My Hull is usually a lot colder than that.... I work there!
It's right across the Ottawa River from me, but now it's known as Gatineau. Where's yours?
The only other one I know is in England.

Mine is in Massachusetts on the south shore of Boston Harbor about 20 miles south of Boston. It was named for the Hull in England. Most of the towns in this area were named for places in England. Can't imagine why.

And Boston is one of those places! I've been to your Boston only once, but I've been to the one in Lincolnshire half a dozen times.

Familiar with Melancthon Township??? or more precisely, Horning's Mills???

It's not all that terribly difficult...just takes some time to see different conditions and figure out what to do in those situations.... Find a sailing club and go hang out with them...I'm sure they would be more than happpy to share...the community of sailors is alot like the buffett community...... The picture above was while underway (on the engine) to Virgin Gorda Sound.....You can see the Western end of Tortola in the background.....
