Seen here are four pilot cutters coming round the turning mark to go out on the 2nd circuit of the course. The order as they approach the turning mark is Alpha to windward of Cornubia followed by Mascotte to windward of Marian. They where about five minutes behind the lead pilot cutter was Edith Gray newly launched in Bristol and making a name for herself at the Pilot Cutter review.
Watch the last pilot cutter Marian as she take the turning mark on the inside and overtakes three pilot cutters in one neat move.
Marian held on to her second position for the rest of the race.
Congratulations to Edith Gray for winning all four races and being the Champion Pilot Cutter for 2011.

Two USN pilots coordinate prior to a mission in the fall of 1960.
The GI Joes are both Timeless Collection figures. They are wearing a mix of Hasbro and Cotswold reproduction items. And...HEY! I just found my Action Man Dog Tag!!! (That needs to go back to Action man.)
I've been working on a small carrier deck 'set'. I'm quite pleased with these first results.

The guide Nico gets us so close to the whales that I knew a wide angle shot was possible. There were about 20-25 in the pod but they weren't doing much - just basking which didn't make for good shots. We will try again. If anyone really wants to see pilot whales and dolphins - go to Los Gigantes port and look for the yellow boat. These guys are by far the best.
The pilot tower for the Cape Fear Pilots is at 111 West Bay Street in Southport, North Carolina in Brunswick County. The pilots wait here for ships to come into Cape Fear River vicinity. From there the pilots take control of ocean going shipping vessels and guide them up the river to the port at Wilmington.
A Super Pilot that I stripped down and rebuilt. This is my first camera restoration, and I have definitely learned a ton from this experience.

Locomotive History
Metropolitan Railway E Class 0-4-4T consisted of seven engines designed by the Metropolitan Railway Chief Mechanical Engineer T. F. Clark, for use on the Baker Street to Aylesbury/Verney Junction service. No. 1 was part of a batch of three engines built at Neasden Works and entered traffic in 1898. A further four engines were built by Hawthorn Leslie in 1900/01. For over twenty years these locomotives were the mainstay of the Metropolitan services to Aylesbury. At the beginning of the 1930’s the class was gradually used for less strenuous work on branch lines and freight and engineering workings, although all survived to be taken into London Transport stock when the Metropolitan was taken over by the London Passenger Transport Board on 13th April 1933 and Metropolitan Railway No. 1 became London Transport L.44. Three of the class were withdrawn in 1935 and one was withdrawn in 1941, however remaining three survived until 1963-4. Following its final activities for London transport, L.44 was purchased by LRPS / Met Tank Appeal Fund and was delivered in steam on 26th March 1964 to the LRPS's temporary store at Skimpot Lane, Luton. The locomotive was subsequently moved to Aylesbury, where she was stored for two years until transferred by rail to Quainton in September 1970. Metropolitan 1 has been overhauled a number of times since 1970 with its last overhaul completed in November 2012. It arrived at the Midland Railway Centre in March 2016 for a four month visit.

16 days, 4,035 miles, 9 states....quite a wild ride! A great deal of catching up to do here...
Pilot and Index Peaks are pictured here. These two lovely peaks are located in the far Northeast corner of Yellowstone National Park but were photographed from outside the park along the Beartooth Scenic Byway.
Pilot Peak, part of the Absaroka Range, is ~11,700 feet above sea level.
The map location is the estimated location the photo was taken from...sadly, my GPS receiver did NOT record time with the coordinates recorded...should be fun trying to match stuff up.

I was drooling over Russell Stutler's collection of the Legendary Pilot Murex and particularly fond of the 1973 black striped MYU. Amazing technology ahead of its time, launched in the same year I was born in 1971. My budget only allowed me to get the 90th anniversary limited 9000pcs edition. It was launched last year but Pilot Hong Kong didn't carry this pen until recently, so here it is.
You can learn a lot more from Pilot's M90 site and The Fountain Pen Network in addition to Russell's site, so I'm not repeating anything here. I just love the minimalist design of the original and its pocket size when the cap is closed.
