[Rhodes22-list] Code Zero

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Graham,
Those photos were pre the drone era and pretty pricey but how can you 
resist when you get followed for 20 minutes by a helicopter with a guy 
with a big camera hanging out the side taking photos and the helicopter 
say "boatpix.com" in giant letters on the tail.

We love our little trawler, Tara, but these are the photos that still 
hang over my desk.
