Please instruct again how to see the answers in a color other than white...

Prudence: Select All, or drag your mouse/finger over the entire post or the white area where you suspect the answers are hiding.

[gyork]

Prudence-PM sent. Others-if you highlight  the answers, copy, then paste to WORD, you are then able to SELECT ALL in WORD doc, and chance type color to non-white. This will make it easier to copy/paste into google______ to see satellite images, if so inclined.

Looks to be a MITA cleanup, ?northern 1/2 of coast. Not a vessel I recognize, but begs the question "How did you fit it into the Lund?"

Thanks for putting me in some pictures and reminding me how badly I need to get up Maine and offshore...:::))) To live out of my kayak for a few days, to find those pocket beaches after several miles, rest and refuel, to skim by the fisherman and workers, to smell the old bait, diesel, fish, and rust of the working waterfronts. To paddle the serene beauty of Great Wass and then to round Steel Harbor Island and feel the weight of the Atlantic swells bearing down on us. Yup...cabin fever with a temp.  of 17'x 21"...

On MCHT Boot Cove Preserve north of Cutler Harbor on the Bold Coast.  It was a cleanup.  The hull is still there some of the contents, wiring, etc that were scattered on the beach were removed.
