I keep seeing this 8-10 story ship under the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, especially on my evening commute. I haven't seen it in over a month, but for much of 2006, I saw it at least twice a week. It's got white structures on top, no ramp I could see, and I couldn't see port registry on the back or flags on deck. Moves at a nice clip, too.

I'm trying to prepare for the holidays and need to find a book for a guy who really loves wooden boats. I was thinking a cool coffee-table style book with great pictures would be nice. He also has a passion for old trains. Any ideas out there?

killed. If you have a sailing yacht do you have to climb the masts or can you manage the sails from the deck?
