    Easy Go is there at many points in her history.

    Looking into where that image was posted, I see that it was linked to Charlotte Watters' blog:
    I see that she and Dan are now off for an open ended voyage on Hestur. Good for them. Charlotte is an artist, and all her artist's kit is kept in the starboard locker, hence the name of her site. It will be worth keeping an eye on.

    Rushing as usual, I meant save it as a slide show-type screen saver.  It would be great to have all those images (oil rigs apart) randomly displaying on my screen. 

    I'll have to look again to find Crib!

    This is interesting too - you can do the same on YouTube. (You may get a Google ad at the top of the list.)

    Badger, China Moon and Fantail are all there - the only one missing is my little Missee Lee who was pre-Internet and has, sadly, been turned back in Bm rig.
    So 'cool' that I've added the link to the site's Home Page. If you know how to do a screengrab you could scroll to the section you want, grab it, maybe crop it, anthen use it as your desktop. Here's how to do a Windows screengrab (er, pinched from a blog):
    • The Print Screen button will save the entire screen in clipboard. You will then need to further edit it in some image editing programs or Microsoft Words.
    • Alt + PrnScn – By holding Alt key while pressing PrtScn button, it captures only the active window. That means the window screen currently in view.
    If that doesn't help, let me know and I'll grab a chunk of the search window for you.

    This is so cool, we found two pictures taken of Crib during the Hong Kong race.

    Annie you can have almost any image you find as your desktop. just right click on it, then left click on >save image as< then name it and save it to your hard drive. It will depend on the original quality of the image as to whether it'll look ok when it's larger! Make sure you know where it's being saved to - mine saved to the downloads folder. Quite how you get it onto your desktop depends on the operating system you have!

    Thank you Brian for the new topic!

    Seablossom used to be in there but she's gone.  I guess the seller has taken his web site down, and I don't have one up.  It's ok - it was her old poorly balanced rig anyway.
