Ionian Trip Images

Post by Mark »

Not sure if anyone's interested, but just returned from a trip to the Inland Sea. Not exactly challenging sailing but quite a good giggle.

Maybe I can challenge people to explain the significance of the cave shot???

Don't know about the cave shot.

This shot isn't a great advert for Bruce/Claw anchor - you could start a good going bun fight in TOP with it.

Will it Hold?

Nice shots BTW

I thought the same about the anchor, it's acting like a Broads mud weight.

I do like the pics though. Is it a proper underwater camera or one of those disposable jobbies?
Seminole.

...significance of the cave shot...

No Idea, but its long/steep climb up there; did you find any eagle feathers?

LOL. 10/10! (I think it's buzzard though!)




WRT to the Anchor. I don't think we can blame the Bruce - we'd made no attempt to set it at all. Mind you, if the ground's hard enough nothing will set & I'm happy enough to simply put plenty of chain out which is good enough. In mud and the softer stuff it set perfectly.

Underwater camera was a Vivitar 6200. I really rate it now, and given half a dozen uses it's far cheaper than disposables.
