Great pictures, you two!

I can't remember which of mine I sent in first but I think it might have been this one.

 

Big Ben through the Gate
Picture by Ruth Gregory


What I do remember was that within hours of my first posting, Andy welcomed me and posted one of my Stonehenge shots.  That really made my day.  And within a day of my first posting, so many people welcomed me that I really felt like I'd made a great group of new friends.  And that certainly has been the case.

Kiss Everybody!

That's a lovely photo Ray and boat as well. We also had a fishing boat moored at Rye Harbour named Rye Angler.; a 30 foot Mitchell built at New Haven.

But going back to early times, I found a website that shows PoE from 2002 onwards for many months to present, and interesting to see how it's altered over the years.  I was also suprised to find according to Alexa's stats, 41% of PoE's visitors are aged 3 to 17.

Thanks Paul,

Mitchell built fine boats 30 foot is a nice size. That one in the pic is a Seamaster, an old but well made GRP 5 berth, with a Ford Watermotor inboard. Prior to that I had a Maclan twin petrol. It was like driving a Ferrarri down a country lane on the river. lol
