The good: We were making excellent time.
The bad: The conditions in the Atlantic Ocean were much worst than the weather forecast promised they would be.

I'm not sure if this qualifies. It looks all "good" to me.

Doesn't look that choppy from here. Can hardly feel a thing ;-)
Great silvery sea!

Hi Dave,
There are no other words for it except perfectly wonderful!! I love this scene.

I guess it's all relative, Royalld. This all looks good to me!

I'm surprised you got as steady a shot as you did as choppy as those waters look
Guest 15-May-2008 14:03
Good: sharks aren't enjoying you as a meal
Bad: there's still hope on the horizon
