The Captain's Rod

The Captain's Rod (Copyright © 2005 B Kahuna)

PORTREE, Isle of Skye -- Captain's rod, Stardust... Oops, wrong show. Anyway, here we are on the MV Stardust, a vessel whose engine had failed and needed to be towed back the previous day. Of course, this wasn't revealed until we were underway and out of screaming distance from the harbor.

Here we see the branded personal flotation device next to a color-matched cylinder of Calor Gas (butane). The captain's rod is to the extreme left. Darth Teddy, an expert deep sea fisherman (especially in turbulant waters), was seen taking a considerable interest in the captain's rod.

Oh yeah, 10^th September, Sony CyberShot DSC-V1 on aperture priority (f/3.5) and resultant shutter of 1/800^th of a second.
