Because AOL/Compuserve is being a butt...
- They just conveniently decided LiveJournal users are using too much bandwidth by posting pictures (coincidently on the same weekend they launched their own journalling service - *SNORT).

Sooo...
This is a place for my entries with pictures until I manage to change ISPs....

Where your Windows dollars are going?

This came into port today.

Port side - Note 40' sailboat on side and covered power boat above.
Port side - Note 40' sailboat on side and covered power boat above.

Her name is the Tatoosh, and apparently she belongs to Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft and owner of the Portland Trailblazers. My theory is he must have come down for the Comdex computer trade show in Las Vegas and taken one of his helicopters there.

She's 92 meters long (about 300 ft.) Just for a sense of scale, the tugboat in the foreground is at least 80' long. This is bigger than the R/V David Starr Jordan, one of the Fed's research vessels.


Other amenities:
- 2 helipads
- recessed stern with water level access to jet skis, etc.
- pool and spa
- crew of 30

A local resident seems unimpressed:

He's thinking, 'I believe that vessel just looks a bit too clean!'
