Some good pics. I miss the open ocean on occasion. There not a better sunset or sunrise or clear sky then out in the middle of the ocean. Only place I haven't been out of those pics is china. Wouldn't mid hearing a few sea stories. You can never hear/tell to many

Sweet! I've always wondered what it would be like to sail across the ocean like that. What do you think of it?

Pretty cool pics! Do you work for Matson? Once, while working in the Marshall Islands, I had the chance to go on a tug trip from Kwajalein to Panama; pick up 2 1600class Army LCU's, and tow them back to Kwaj. 30 days going down, and it was EXTREMLY rough! On the return trip, towing the 2 LCU's for 40 days, it was glass calm ALL the way back! Almost scary, thinking something could blow up a storm at any minuite! The only problem encountered on the way home, the electronics went south on the autopilot, and we had to steer manually watching the compass, using a yardstick to turn the rudder lever from the Captain's chair. Sunrise over the open ocean at flat calm is a sight to behold!
