I recently did a shoot for Integrated Pain Associates & the Central Texas Day Surgery Center in Killeen, TX. We were taking headshots of the staff and various facility photos. A friend of mine is building their new website so all the photos were taken for the site.

A pretty beat up early Scout II. Lots of aftermarket parts, looked sort of lived in. In Montauk, NY.
Le Sea Cloud II est un trois-mâts barque moderne, à coque acier, construit en 2001 dans les chantiers navals de l’Astilleros Gondán à Castropol (Asturias), Puerto de Figueras, en Espagne.
Ce luxueux voilier de croisière est la propriété de la branche maritime de la holding Hansa Treuhand et géré par la Sea Cloud Cruises GmbH. Il a pris le nom de Sea Cloud II en raison de sa sœur d'armement le Sea Cloud, un quatre-mâts barque lancé en 1935.
Le projet de construire un deuxième voilier de luxe date de 1994. Il devait rester dans l'esprit du Sea Cloud et offrir aux passagers la tradition de la grande marine à voile, mais avec le luxe et le confort des temps modernes.
La grande difficulté fut de trouver un chantier naval capable d'accomplir ce défi. Un premier chantier finlandais fut trouvé, mais sa faillite subite mena ce projet en Espagne, dans les chantiers de Figueras. Il fut terminé avec un an de retard.
Il fit sa croisière inaugurale en février 2001 le long des côtes espagnoles.
Il dispose de 47 cabines pour une capacité de 96 passagers.
Il s'agit d'un trois-mâts de 135,7 m de long , 28 voiles pour 4 166 m2, et 69 cabines pour 136 passagers.
The Sea Cloud II is a large barque built as a cruise ship, and operated by Sea Cloud Cruises GmbH of Hamburg, Germany. A luxury vessel, she sails under the Maltese flag. The Roman suffix II indicates that she is the company's second ship. She is neither a sister to, nor the successor of, the Sea Cloud (ex Hussar II), but a separate vessel.
Due to the success of the operator's first ship, Sea Cloud, but also for economic reasons, the operator decided to put another sailing ship into service.
Unlike the Sea Cloud, the Sea Cloud II is a newbuilding. The contract for her construction was awarded to the Asturian shipbuilder Astilleros Gondán, SA. The keel laying was held there on 24 June 1998.
The rigging was planned and produced by Navicom in Wolgast. The 23 sails were made in Poland.
Sea Cloud II was launched on 18 March 1999. However, the owner's exacting demands in relation to interior fitout caused delivery problems and personnel problems. This led to a roughly one-year delay. The ship was eventually handed over to Sea Cloud Cruises on 29 December 2000, in a not yet completely finished state.
On 22 January 2001, the final work was completed. The Sea Cloud II was christened on 6 February 2001 in Las Palmas, Canary Islands. The sponsor was Sabine Christiansen.
Hull[edit]
The Sea Cloud II has an overall length of 105.90 m (347 ft 5 in). Her maximum beam is 16.0 m (52 ft 6 in) and her draught is described as 5.70 m (18 ft 8 in). Her hull is built of standard shipbuilding steel, and is fitted with eight watertight bulkheads.
Three of the Sea Cloud II's decks are continuous. She has a 3,849 gross tonnage (GT), and is equipped with three anchors, weighing a total of 2,280 kg (5,030 lb).
Decks[edit]
The ship has five decks. The bridge deck is used as a sun deck behind the superstructure. Below it is the main deck, which is called the lido deck. It has a bar, lounge, the Owner Suites and the library.
The promenade deck, or first sub-deck, houses the reception area, restaurant, boutique, and the junior suites. Outside the windows of the suites is a promenade; no balconies are available. Externally, the Sea Cloud II is recognizable by the long "cutouts" in her hull.
The cabin deck is the second sub-deck. As its name suggests, it houses the cabins, but also a fitness room, sauna and a room for medical care. On the lowest deck are cabins for the crew members, along with the kitchen and other service facilities. A freight elevator connects the decks.
There is no pool aboard the Sea Cloud II. Instead, she has a foldable platform, which facilitates sea-based watersports.
Cabins and suites[edit]
In the cabins and suites, a maximum of 96 passengers can be accommodated. The interior of the Sea Cloud II is air conditioned, and in the cabins and suites, the temperature can be regulated.
There are 27 outside cabins with portholes. By price category, the room sizes range from 12 m2 (130 sq ft) to 20 m2 (220 sq ft). They are always equipped with two beds, and a TV, safe, shower, toilet and marble vanity tops with gold-plated taps, amongst other features. In the three interior cabins, the lowest category, there are bunk beds.
The 16 "junior suites" are 23 m2 (250 sq ft) in size, and are equipped with large windows. They also have more luxurious furnishings and interior decorations. The bathrooms are slightly larger than in the cabins and have a bath. The two so-called "owner suites" differ from the "junior suites" by having a room size of 27 m2 (290 sq ft), more extensive furnishings (including a four-poster bed) and a much larger bathroom with tub and separate shower.

Rigging[edit]
The Sea Cloud II is a square-rigger with fore-mast, main-mast and mizzen-mast. The top of her main-mast is 57 m (187 ft) above deck. Her 23 sails have a total area of approximately 3,000 m2 (32,000 sq ft). She is sailed traditionally by hand, as is common, for example, on sail training ships.
Machinery[edit]
The vessel's main power plants consist of two four-stroke diesel engines made by Krupp MaK Maschinenbau GmbH, each developing 1,240 kW (1,660 hp) at 900 revolutions/minute. The propeller is driven via a gear mechanism. Using this means of propulsion, the Sea Cloud II achieves a top speed of about 13 knots. Additionally, she is equipped with a bow thruster.
Three main generators developing a total of 1,653 kW (2,217 hp) generate the on-board voltage of 380/220 V AC, 50 Hz. There is also a 187 kW (251 hp) emergency generator.
The Ghibli name was resurrected in 1992 with the release of the Maserati Ghibli II. It appeared with updated Maserati Biturbo engines: a 2.0 litre V6, with the highest output, for the Italian and European markets and a 2.8 litre V6 for other countries, operated via a six-speed manual transmission (early 2.8 cars have a 5 speed manual) or 4 speed automatic. The two-door, four-seater coupé was similar in appearance to Maserati Shamal, and did not sell as well as anticipated.
In 1994, the car was revised. A refreshed interior, new wheels, a fully adjustable electronic suspension and ABS brakes were added. Another round of improvements resulted in the Ghibli GT in 1996. It was fitted with spoked alloy 17" wheels, and had suspension and transmission modifications.
The Ghibli II has a top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h) and a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 5.7 seconds.
The Iona II was built by the same yard as the Iona I, J. & G. Thompson, in 1863 as a direct replacement for her predecessor. However, later that year she was also bought by the Confederates to act as a blockade runner. In January 1864 she sailed for America, but after getting caught in bad weather and suffering a near mutiny off Ireland (the crew were worried about her ability to cope with the Atlantic) she sank in off the island of Lundy in the Bristol Channel.

In 1969 and 1970, Heyerdahl built two boats from papyrus and attempted to cross the Atlantic Ocean from Morocco in Africa. Based on drawings and models from ancient Egypt, the first boat, named Ra (after the Egyptian Sun god), was constructed by boat builders from Lake Chad using papyrus reed obtained from Lake Tana in Ethiopia and launched into the Atlantic Ocean from the coast of Morocco. The Ra crew included Thor Heyerdahl (Norway), Norman Baker (USA), Carlo Mauri (Italy), Yuri Senkevich (USSR), Santiago Genoves (Mexico), Georges Sourial (Egypt), Abdullah Djibrine (Chad). After a number of weeks, Ra took on water after its crew made modifications to the vessel that caused it to sag and break apart. The ship was abandoned and the following year, another similar vessel, Ra II, was built of totora by Demetrio, Juan and Jose Limachi from Lake Titicaca in Bolivia and likewise set sail across the Atlantic from Morocco, this time with great success. The crew was mostly the same, only Djibrine had been replaced by Japanese Kei Ohara and Madani Ait Ouhanni (from Morocco). The boat reached Barbados, thus demonstrating that mariners could have dealt with trans-Atlantic voyages by sailing with the Canary Current.

Western chapels dedicated to Amun-Re, Osiris and possibly Horus. A colourful relief of the goddess Hekat 'Mistress of Abydos', usually portrayed as a frog, but in this case showing her human face. On her left the god Anubis 'Lord of the Sacred Land' also has the head of a man rather than the usual jackal, probably the only known example of Anubis with a human head.
