It can take off and land like a regular airplane, or take off or hover like a helicopter.[/SIZE][/color]

That is the reason that the USMC and AF want it to send in personnel and materiel in areas where landing space is limited and perhaps too for rescue extractions by the USCG

Theyve been grounded several times and modifications had to be made so they may now have all the bugs worked out with them

Hiker, have to tell you how beautiful that eagle shot is... every detail so clear... :) George doesn't hand out that pudding box to just anyone..^

We had some sad news today, my BIL, David, passed away this morning... he was married to my sister Barbara and was Cynthia's FIL... he had Alzheimers and has been in a sad situation for the past year... my sister did keep him home as long as possible, she's a retired nurse and took great care of him... he was a retired fireman and spent the final years of his life sailing and enjoying life. they sailed the Panama Canal and the South Pacific....he especially loved the Channel Islands and took us sailing there for my first visit ever and even anchored at Pelican's Cove for a few days ....he found it as perfect as K-10 and K-26.. <3

Hi All--We are back on Terra Firma

Great 6 days on WindCatcher at Catalina, Cove hopping and GREAT FLEDGELING ACTIVITY!

We spent two days moored at Cat Harbor watched K87 & K91 riding high on the thermals, chasing each other when one perched at a spot down by the water, where the other sister wanted to sit too. rofl Typical siblings. Heard lots of SQWEEEING, from a big snag they like to perch on and from way up high on a ridgeline---their voices carried far and wide. Lots of gorgeous sights of K81 & K82 fishing , perching etc. and one of those famous battles we all watch here on NO --adult bringing food to nest and getting "attached" --took 3 attempts.

We saw the WE chicks up on the nest when we made the trip around WE but they were never down low off the nest for us to see them on either of our roundings. We saw K01 and Wray up high too on different perching place.

We saw TR K94 yesterday , and one of the adults perched.

Now there is dinner to prepare, PILE OF LAUNDRY for the weekend . DH said he will help me over the weekend to post pictures of the eagles that we took. He got some nice ones, all taken from our boat. We got really close to K81 & K82 when we were on our kayaks, but DH won't take his camera on the kayak. So I will just say we sat and quietly communicated with K81 & K82 on early Wednesday morning while sitting in our kayaks.

Our whole trip at sea was perfect--seas very very friendly this trip--some times it turns out quite gnarly--but not this time. Wish we had had more wind, as we had to motor sail most of the time---we hate the "iron main", but when there is light , light wind, well then we thank the motor. :D

Heading to Kitchen now ---instead of the Galley. :}^

LALA-- I just saw your posting before I signed off---Deepest Sympathy to your Sister on the loss of her dear dear husband and to all of you who have lost a loved family member. Alzheimers is so terribly cruel and I understand you when you write it is a blessing for him.

May his sail home to heaven had been sweet and his loving spirit always remain with your sister. Keep the happy memories you all have of your time with your beloved BIL.
