The Scademia was originally a fishin boat, and was refitted as a motor-sail cruising boat. Just used for tourists now.

Luckily, I was able to get the camera pointed right, and keep it fairly steady

They look awsome at full resolution (2600 X 1950, 24 bit color, only slightly compressed). They average about 2.5 MBytes each.
