[Rhodes22-list] For Richard Smith

See:  http://www.rhodes22.org/pipermail/rhodes22-list/2005-March/022105.html

If I had my old Nikon with the polarizing filter, I could have cut thru that
haze.  I guess local landmarks are a challenge to LIS sailors, or even those
from Brooklyn.  Maybe the guys from Brooklyn do not know there another end
to Long Island?  Maybe they are flat earthers who are afraid they will fall
off.  I was at that white building at the end about 40 years ago.  But I
thought we had someone on this list who circumnavigated Long Island?  I
guess he has sailed away in peace....

Post the URL for the landmark again please.  Somehow I missed the original
post.

Thanks

Bill:
Thanks for the web site, but remember that at 10 bps it takes
forever to see any website.  Their slow speeds just were not worth waiting
for.  A Navajo could communicate faster with smoldering leaves and a
blanket.
Did you look at the Nautical Landmark?  I thought you of all people
would have recognized and correctly identified that landmark.  Maybe Burt or
Richard Smith or Lou or even Michael can identify it.  Gee, where are all
the previously identified Rhodies located?
