Michael McCoy's website index page banner reveals a small lizard sunning itself on top of a large green leaf, in a tropical rainforest setting. The photograph is taken from underneath, sunlight from above luminating the lizard and the top of the leaf. The lizard's head and two right feet hang over the edge of the leaf, while the rest of the lizards body is seen as a shadow cast through the green of the leaf contrasted with a black background.

The icon banner to access the homepage of Peter Andrews. The photographic image within the icon shows a large sailing ship with square sails set, cruising up the Hudson River in New York and over the image in text is 'Peter Andrews, Photojournalist'. The buildings of the lower Manhatten skyline dominate the background, most noteably, the twin towers of New York's World Trade Centre. The sailing ship is the Norwegian sail training ship 'Christian Radich' and the photograph was taken by Peter from the stern of British registered sailing ship, 'The Eye of the Wind' during the Operation Sail 92 on New York Harbour, July 4, 1992. Click onto this icon to acces the homepage of Peter Andrews containing further links to his work, including pages of tall ship sailing and other topics.

This is the icon banner for the Nepalese graphic designer, Nishess Shakya, also known as Nix.

Nix has produced many or the graphic icons and banners that currently appear on the outimage website.

Tackling wilderness: Ericsson 3 Leg 1 Day 7
22:28 GMT 17 October 2008.

First of all we on E3 want to send our thoughts to our teammate Tony Mutter who has to retire from this leg because of a knee injury. We really feel bad for his sake and the crew who has to sail on without him.

On Ericsson 3 we are still working 100 percent. Two days ago we were more than 25 miles behind Ericsson 4 and yesterday evening we passed them. We could actually see them visually passing behind us.

We are very pleased with our position for the moment. We gybed south outside the Cape Verde islands seven hours ago and now we are concentrating on not being covered by the wind shadow of Cap Verde.

Latest report told that we have made big gains on Puma, who is now 29 miles in front of us. It's a long distance but everything can happen. The Doldrums are coming closer and it seems it's going to be a parking lot.

Because of that this is still a very open race. The wind will shift a lot in the coming days. Some boats can come with wind from behind whilst another parks up completely, just like in Gibraltar when we were leading with 30 miles and suddenly started going backwards because of the current. At the same time, our opponents were closing in and passing. A feeling of frustration I hope we will not need to experience again.

So to the wilderness topic. I thought whales and dolphins would be the coolest animals on this trip. But so far the fly fish are the most notable. Yesterday night we were invaded by them and several of the crew were hit in the chest and even in the head. Maybe we should start wearing helmets.

I just went up on deck and stood in the aft waiting for navigator Aksel Magdahl to finish his ‘business', when I suddenly got tackled by a fish that died instantly and fell over Aksel's shoulder and almost ended up in his pants.

What will Mother Nature bring us next?

Gustav Morin - MCM.
