I personally count the long distance view, because we're not really "boat people", so we have to settle for what we can get.

So, if you can find the directions to see those way off lights in the bay, I'm game. I take take my family on all sorts of wild goose chases (the goose usually wins), so what's one more.

I even called Aberdeen Proving Ground the other day to see if I could come on base and hopefully see and photograph Poole's Island from a distance. I was transferred to the MPs and they told me that there were people that wouldn't be too happy to see a camera in that area of the base...they must have thought I was the spy who calls ahead (and gives my name)!
