Comments (16)Thanks for that info triciae. There were signs on the ship that contained some of the same information, but since we were pressed for time because I had to get back to my father-in-law's place to start prepping for the shrimp/mushroom risotto dinner I had planned, I only briefly read the first few signs, and after that just took pictures of the signs. I had heard that the vessel was based out of New London, but never heard the state mentioned. One of the signs attempted to answer why the Coast Guard keeps and maintains a sailing ship, and uses it for training when none of the other ships it uses are sailing ships. They had a longish explanation mentioning "learning the sea", "learning to work together", but I think the real reason is its beautiful and cool and it maintains a tie to the past. I had been sailing on a sunfish the previous day, and was imagining the Eagle trying to chase down smugglers and gaining until the ship had to tack or the smugglers turned into the wind and got away. "Dang it, they escaped again." :-) Edited to add picture of sign: This post was edited by bob_cville on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 11:31...See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Sun Aug 07

Comments (16)Gigantic Jet Lightning over China Image Credit & Copyright: Phebe Pan Explanation: That's no meteor. While watching and photographing this year's Perseid Meteor Shower, something unexpected happened: a gigantic jet erupted from a nearby cloud. The whole thing was over in a flash -- it lasted less than a second -- but was fortunately captured by an already-recording digital camera. Gigantic jets are a rare form of lightning recognized formally only a few years ago. The featured high resolution color image, taken near the peak of Shikengkong mountain in China, may be the best image yet of this unusual phenomenon. The same event appears to have been captured simultaneously by another photographer, further away. The gigantic jet appears to start somewhere in a nearby thundercloud and extend upwards towards Earth's ionosphere. The nature of gigantic jets and their possible association with other types of Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) such as blue jets and red sprites remains an active topic of research....See More

and I have some time to go through some old photos. I even changed my desktop background.
We were finishing a long cruise. Our return to San Diego was about sunrise. I took this from our balcony/veranda. If you enlarge and look closely, you can see the hangers of the Naval Air Station on the right.
