Great pictures! Isn't that truly GIANT stride off the Spectre a kick?

Wonderful pictures, Bob!
I hope you had a better experience with the Spectre than I did. It's the one crew I have ever stiffed on a dive boat because their "service" was so atrocious.

Your photos are awesome!

The giant stride off of the Spectre makes the previously-scary stride off of the Peace look like baby's play now.
