I came upon this web site via a photography list server. Even if you don't live in California, there are some magnificant photos. These were taken as a historical/conservation project by one man. 12,000 high resolution photos from a helicopter say it all. Several people I have told about this site have found their home or boat in these photos--for others it is a great way to "look" at harbors yet explored. (Forget about the Barbara Streisand thing and enjoy the pictures)
