Later, the marshalling crew in a RIB asked me if I wanted to go out with them and get some shots from the water. I jumped at the chance. After we left the dock, I realised I had about 2 frames left on my last roll. I rewound the film and fired off blanks as we buzzed the sailing dinghies, not wishing to let down my chauffers. <smack> Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________
