Well, I've finally got it all together from the NY Harbor Cruise Saturday. Figured I'd share some of my material from these trips.

First off, I've got the log page for the trip that's eventually going to go on my formal website that I need to get together soon. Right now, it's hosted on my general Geocities account where I began this concept years ago, but eventually I'm going to have a site with detailed pages on all of my interests. This is a sort of "demo" of that site.

http://www.geocities.com/seagirtlight/lh_nyharbor.html

Also, I have my photos done. I can't upload that many, because I keep forgetting to renew my Flickr Pro account, but I got some of my best ones so that they're bigger than the 225-longest-dimension ones on the website.

Here's some random Wackos on the bow of the boat on the way out. Not sure who's who from the back, but feel free to ID yourself. smile

It was a GREAT trip, and I had a lot of fun seeing new lights and meeting friends, new and old. Thanks again, Dave, for getting everything together.

Hope to see others' images of the trip, both the harbour cruise and the other components.

Great photos here and a nice report on Geocities, Greg!

Those "publishing" genes of yours are evident in your 'blog' of the trip.

Nice pics Greg! Your photos are the next best thing to being there.

Great to see updated pics of some NJ & NY Hudson lighthouses. Romer Shoal looks like it needs a little attension.

You can paint a pretty nice picture with your words Greg. I've always liked "The sun spit sunshine onto the earth!" - The Owl & the Pussycat

It was nice to meet you in person, and watch you be overwelmed by the Group. You're now an 'official' Wacko, in the flesh! vhappy

Greg,

It was great to finally meet you. Still can't believe you are only 17. You've got a great future ahead of you. You're a very talented photographer and journalist!

BTW: Your pics really ROCK!

Your write-up about the trip was great to read and to live over again.

Love your pictures of the cruise, Greg.
Glad to have met you at the end of the cruise. It's always nice to be able to put a face to a name!
