False Echoes

I have been the biggest Jimmy Buffett fan since I first heard his live double album "You Had To Be There".

Was it really back in 1978?  Yikes.  33 1/2 RPM on a turntable.

The pirate who was looking at 13, ... is now looking at 50. ;o )

Amazingly the line, "And in your belly, you hold the treasure that few have ever seen, most of them dreams, most of them dreams", it has stuck.

That song changed my life forever.

Thankfully today I can say I have seen a few things.  All under water.

The Ocean is the worlds biggest museum.  And one of the most fragile.

This is a photo of a anchor from a sailing ship.  Thankfully it landed in Gage Park in 1969.  Most iron anchors rust out in less than a couple of years.

There was a historian(s) here who looked after this anchor.

Once these are gone they are gone.  No one builds tall ships anymore.
