I would pay serious money to do that!!! They needed some flames and smoke to add to the kool though.

Nice vid rick.

Funny I've been on that boat several times.... When I lived in Paris we often would go golfing in England. I'm a crappy golfer but had a friend that wanted to play every royal course in England while he was over working.

Always funny were the Brits on board. Half of them were 'booze cruising', going to Calais to buy alchohol at about 1/2 the cost in the UK. They would bring back the max allowable amount TO THE OUNCE.

For some reason the aforementioned comment made me think of a buddy of mine that bought a ticket on the Concorde, just so he could get a drink in the morning. THAT is dedication. And very true, I know it to be a fact.

(Sorry guys, abstract mind, carry on)..

Must feel very strange when the ferry struck land. I imagined myself at the bridge and my gut kind of clenched as she made landfall.

I was thinking the camera guy stepped behind that trackhoe, or crane, whatever it was. I know MY inclination would be to run like hell..
