Varuna suprise

Maybe you can take a pic of it and put it on the page that way.  I really like seeing those pictures of that monumental voyage.  That book gave me great encouragement.  Cheers

I too read Hal Roth's book and was very pleased to see that picture of Varuna.  It definately puts what our boats can do in perspective.  I'd also love to get a copy of that picture but unfortunately I don't have the hardware to scan it either.

Okay, I finally broke down and bought a scanner (for other reasons) and scanned the photo of Varuna (spelled wrong the first time in the gallery).  I had orginally scanned the photo using Tiff and then resaved it as a jpg to get the size down to what photo gallery would take.  I did merge the 2-page version of the smaller photo of Varuna but even jpg-ing at the lowest level, it was still 11,000kb in size!I just cannot get the small photo to look good blown up, sorry.  Anyway, visit the gallery to see Varuna best photograph, to me at least.  ~jklee

Thanks, there are times my mind is someplace else instead of on the letters I am trying to type. 

I tried again to improve my varuna photo scanning it in just jpg (2-page version) but what I see in my folder is not what I see in the Adobe Photo Element 4 or when I put it in a document (document looks good on screen) and print it off the photo has the B/W dots.  I am a bit confused at this as I have done 100's of scans of B/W and color, large and small with no problems on my father's scanner (earlier version of mine).  I will have to play some more with the scanner.  If anyone wants an electric version that is 1 - 10 GB jpg or tiff just e-mail me off line with subject line Varuna photo.  ~jklee

Jose'  -  Yes, it makes me want to sail or just get back to my boat.  Today would have been a great day uncover my boat but instead I cleaned and teak stained my steps.  Next weekend for sure, as I need to get the trap off and start my many projects.   
The prographer is Russell Turiak (I tried to look him up on the internet with this photo but no luck) for pages ii-iii, and the publisher is International Marine / McGraw-Hill, PO Box 220 Camden, ME 04843.  Title is "How to Sail Around the World" copyright 2004 by Hal Roth.
Hope this helps, as this photo is nothing like any of Tania's photo as she finished her trip into NYC Harbor.  ~jklee

PS, Thanks Jose', I figured out the problem because of you!  I am redoing the small photo (Adrian, you can delete the Mar 24 small photo if you wish as its quality is not good) plus putting on the 2 pager that is a bit cropped.

I have two different copies. They only have a map. There seem to be six different releases of the book.
