The Source of Our Troubles – 254 viewsIt was this little point that was giving us all this grief. Doesn't look so bad, does it. Notice the Coast Guard chopper patrolling in the upper right corner of the frame.

Part Deux Part 1 – 253 viewsThe next chapter. This was after I had been kicked back. Tom is doing a cowboy back into his boat, under Jen Kleck's watchful eye. In the background, an unknown swimmer is being tended to by, I think, Tom Bergh.
