Hi John, Becken is really great! I'm doing all my sailing now in the North, which means the North sea and The Netherlands. There are a lot of big old sailing boats up there and it's absosutely paradise for photographers!!! Bit my problem always is, that I like BOTH photography and sailing so much, that I feel bad staying on shore to take Photographs with my tele and also If I'm sailing in perfect weather without my camera.... :-( But - I've got a Nikonos too!!! This great camera never has failed me in the wortst conditions :-))) Alex
