Blogger Bash, Pt. 2

Because of all the photos in the previous wrap-up of the New England Mini-Blog Bash, I held over some photos of the surroundings that caught my eye. It's a fine line to know how much to "dumb-down" a photo (ie, what size, how much to optimize it for the web with Photoshop) in order to hit a balance between loading reasonably quickly for folks with dial-up connections while still having a picture of decent size and detail.

Anyway, hit the "continue reading" link for a couple other snaps...

Chan's boat. Man, that's the life! He took some of the attendants on a tour after I left.

The busiest gas station on the lake because of it's prices. Boats line-up in the water waiting their turn. Chan tells me they pump 30,000 gallons a week. Living on a large lake means you can go to restaurants and bars by boat. Even the local Burger-King has a boat-through...

That's the local "ferry", a powered raft that shuttles people from their anchored boats to the local harbor-club or elsewhere in this bay. I don't know why, but I'd feel better if there was some railing around that thing...

That turbo-charged "cigarette boat" costs $700,000 dollars! I could retire on that and live splendidly!
