On the way we visited Shark Valley in the Everglades observing many seabirds and alligators. In Key West we sailed two hours on the Appledore, an 87 ft sloop with 30 knot winds - great fun! http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=Morris&p=&AID=6096395 7/23/2009 5:55:52 PM Another happy two and one half weeks at the cabin on Island Lake, June 25 - July 8. The weather was cold and rainy the first week, but the week of the 4th was wonderful and warm as the children and grandchildren joined us for fishing and fireworks. Lance and our friend Nancy joined us for exploring Bayfield and Madeline Island the last several days. http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=Morris&p=&AID=5918369 7/19/2009 1:49:46 PM Lez, Steve, Mike and Nick aboard Dayspring. http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=negpics&p=&AID=5913730 6/6/2009 11:41:39 AM http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=SheSailsToo&p=&AID=5869307 6/2/2009 9:08:30 PM Photos from the Snipe Colonial Cup held in Annapolis MD May 30th and 31st, 2009 http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=zkuhle&p=&AID=5865254 6/1/2009 11:40:42 PM http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=RegattaLens&p=&AID=5864095 6/1/2009 11:39:00 PM http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=RegattaLens&p=&AID=5864088 5/18/2009 8:28:36 AM http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=PonyFans&p=&AID=5847586 5/10/2009 12:19:19 PM Photos of the Sea Buoy race and awards presentation. http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=RegattaLens&p=&AID=5837273 10/28/2008 4:14:14 AM Delivery of "DEFIANCE" to San Diego. http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=aeroknot&p=&AID=5590938 10/18/2008 11:07:41 PM http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=Donn%27s+pictuRs&p=&AID=5578924 10/8/2008 11:18:24 AM http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=sallymartinphoto&p=&AID=2425606 10/8/2008 11:13:04 AM http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=sallymartinphoto&p=&AID=5028219 10/8/2008 11:12:23 AM http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=sallymartinphoto&p=&AID=5561942 9/29/2008 2:13:53 PM *Click to enlarge picture. *When purchasing, UNCHECK 'print color correction' in cart options box. *Avialable as prints, large posters, large canvas prints and as various gifts.*A variety of framing options are also available under Buy Gifts. http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=shootme&p=&AID=5549050 1/15/2008 5:58:14 PM Images from the water... http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=aeroknot&p=&AID=5069723 1/15/2008 5:47:10 PM Images of the Crews on the ATLANTAS , ARTEMUS, and other sail vessels during voyages and classes on the water.

With 30 knot winds and 2-foot white caps, it was quite a ride. http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=DAVID%2DWRIGHT&p=&AID=4622171 6/26/2007 11:57:43 PM Class of '62 Sailathon http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=jimharrington&p=&AID=4606577 12/3/2006 9:29:28 PM Sailing on the 65' Schooner Anne http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=edwood7&p=brooklyn&AID=4118942 9/3/2006 9:05:47 PM http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=starboardtacker&p=&AID=3845290 3/14/2006 10:55:50 PM Images of the Research Vessel DAVIDSON and it's crew, equipment, and operations in the Gulf of Mexico Dec '06, taken by Brian K, the 2nd mate aboard. Her mission: forensic analysis of the wreck of the TYPHOON, a cutting edge tension leg oil rig which used to be floating and anchored 200 miles south east of Galveston . It now lies upside down in 125' of water in a field of other conventional oil platforms about 50 miles closer to the coastline, where what were the upper decks are now stuck in the mud . TYPHOON was reported to have been capsized by Hurricane Katrina when the large waves compressed or overstreached the tension legs holding it in place. The rig was uninhabited at the time, but most of the machinery (living quaters, helicopter pad,generators, etc.) and equipment broke free of the platform as it capsized, this was seen as a trail of deris by preliminary sonar scans of the seabed. DAVIDSON has onboard two conventional towed sonar "fish", and was also carrying a third multi-sensor fish which featured a laser scanner. This $2 million vehicle was snagged by underwater cables in the debris fieldson its' first launch over the wreckage site, it snapped off the end of it's cable and was lost in 1700 feet of water as weather began to deteriorate. A nearby 200' ROV vessel the GARY CHOUEST literally came to the rescue, after setting themselves up over the last known position of the lost "fish", on computer controlled Dyamic Positioning in 25 knot winds and 7 foot seas. At midnight on December 14th, Brian maneuvered the 800 ton DAVIDSON alongside the port quarter of the 'CHOUEST, a line was floated to secure the DAVIDSON to her in position, by one bowline The 'CHOUEST's ROV (Remotely Operated Submersible) located and attached our cable to the lost fish by TV cameras and a "claw", and we were able to bring the laser fish back on board the DAVIDSON.
