[Leica] Sailing

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard S. Taylor)]

Philippe - How am I ever going to get any work done with people 
posting so many terrific sailing pix?  Going through your shots  I 
felt like I'd been along on your trip, and that's a good thing.

Too bad the owner has to sell but boats are an appalling amount of 
work and hardly cheap to own.  As soon as you start calculating the 
cost per use each year it's all over.  Sounds like that's what 
happened to your friend.

Around here people say "The happiest day of your life is when you buy 
your first boat and the second happiest is when you sell it" -but 
maybe you've heard that before.

You've got a good eye for capturing life underway.

Did you use an external finder with your Digilux 2?  My D2 has been 
gathering dust because of the EVF and I find use of an external 
finder a nuisance.

Thanks for showing them.
