    DW's right, and King Hiro wins again for creativity !!! I'll let him do the follow up photo...
    V - If I told of our pirate protocol, I'd have to shoot myself !!

    Sledge4.2 - As far as cutting a cookie (doin' a donut?) takes just over 6 minutes and speed goes from 25 knots to about 12 knots...and we need about a mile of sea room....

    Dr. Italia I presume ? the Sextant.... good for cadets and photos with FOG hat !! :)

    ...I thought so,
    we had a Captain at Matson who shot a star daily. He also was a licensed master of Sail vessels as well as motor and steam...so you can imagine what kind of fellow he was...

    I think a Master of Sail, Motor, and Steam is about as rare as an F1 champ. I've only come across one in the 25 years I've been out here....

    That was a general list of what most people would consider as "notable places of the world". If it was my personal list, your shots of Ferrariworld in Abu Dhabi would likely be #2 on my list of FOGHAT places to go, with my personal list including places such as the Nurburgring,Le Mans, and Monza. Impressive Capt. Willie!

    I'm tellin' ya.... it's ALL about the hat !!!

    and yes...... I was in the "Front Row"..... wow..!! 0-240 kph in a flash....
    I treated my Chief Engineer.... (yes...I'm a nice Captain... )

    In the first photo, you might be able to see a fine grey mist - cooling water - coming up from @ the right front wheel area... this turns into face pelting objects as you accelerate...
    You are issued and must wear goggles... it is a highly recommended ride, and glad that it made Butchers top 5 !! Grin !!

    ...and shame on hiros for not recognizing those two gentlemen! Yes, whatever was in Alonso's pocket (credit cards?) go flying out - I can only imagine the look on the guy's face who finds that later!

    I'm sure. Much less embarassing than this one.

    The bar certainly has been set pretty high by the capt. Perhaps you can climb on top of the mag train when it is running at 432km/h. Don't forget to tape the fog hat with a duct tape when you take a pic though. :)
