Cheers James, yes I know, I was just being hopeful that there might be some new ones to view on a dull day at work! Have just had a peek at IOSSC you have a very clear view from your camera! I love the look in the gulls eye! - yes it's that clear !!!! What area is the camera pointing at, at night you can see lights in the distance....where are they? I have seen a few big ships pass but sadly no dinghys. must view this site at weekends, thats when they come out to play. Cheers again |

Hahaha glad you like it and funny when the camera does manage to catch the odd gull in mid-flight as it did this morning: And no that's not a photoshop  The view is from Sheerness looking over the mouth of the Thames Estuary towards Southend. That's what the lights in the distance are at night - the bright lights of Southend! Y&Y's office is over there somewhere (probably to the middle of the picture).  ------------- IOS Sailing Community - http://www.iossc.org.uk/" rel="nofollow - www.iossc.org.uk |

That makes me smile James, I lived not far from Southend (Little Wakering) and spent most of my summer days at southend - a short bike ride away. Still get to go there as Mum is still in the area. I have walked past the Y+Y HQ many times! Next time I am there, I will look across the water and gice IOSSC a wave! |

| By the way have you noticed what a good sailing venue it is. I'm staggered it isn't more popular. I used to sail there for about 10 years and I've done about 15 round Sheppey races. Do you know they didn't choose it for the Olympic bid? |

Hi Headfry, it is http://www.teamellen.com - www.teamellen.com , and then there is a link to the cam from the toolbar. Be warned, the site is spectacularly slow at the moment (but that might just be the firewall where I work) ------------- Fly Cherub! |
