[Leica] IMG: End of sailing season pics.

[ricc at embarqmail.com (Ric Carter)]

beautiful sunset pictures and a fitting windup for the season.

I need to check on--the Half Moon spent quite a while in Little  
Washington before find her way elsewhere--i've got shots of her  
somewhere. A doctor in North Carolina put a lot of money in her and  
was searching for a home for her.
