Heck, Donal, when the boat got caught in a cross current and the 
motor quit working I was thinking that I had taken too much with 
the R8, R6 and 4 lenses!!

Luckily we went over a shallow area just before hitting the 
main channel and I was able to snag onto a branch from the top 
of a tree and stop our drift while the guys got the motor 
working again.  All the time I was thinking, all this for a damn 
sunset photo!!  

Anyway with all of the humidity in the air the sun was HUGE as it 
slipped over the horizon.  Anyone who has seen a sunset in the south 
(Georgia, Alabama or below) knows what I am talking about.
