Nick,I'll add a little p.e to the stern area. But I think Nektarios would like to do that himself 2 more photos of the hard parts of starboard side of America. http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo95 ... 0_1880.jpg http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo95 ... 0_1881.jpg Thanks J.Soca, maybe you should come to the DARKSIDE! :heh: :big_grin:
