Got a note from Ping Jockey today:

Neal,
Thought I would drop a line and see how you where doing. Hope all is well and looking forward to seeing you at the commissioning here in a few days. I hope your trip aboard the PCU Texas was an exciting journey. Feel free to post this letter if you like in the forums....

[Syxx_Killer]

Grrr.... I don't know how I missed it. :damn::damn: I kept the webcam in its own tab. Thanks for the shot, though.

[Dowly]

Duh, looks like I missed it by 5min! :damn: Thanks for the pics, guys! :up:

On the second pic, looks like he´s pointing towards the webcam. :hmm:

[Syxx_Killer]

I looked at the video on the main page and it said the sub was escorted in by a tall ship. I saw a tall ship on the webcam. I had just missed the sub! :damn:

[joea]

Well done Gizz, I missed that here. :cool:

[Onkel Neal]

Wow, good catch, Gizz. Yeah, that's my family. They asked about the webcam and I pointed it out. Don't know how you managed to catch that exact moment. Loved the little clip. Tomorrow, I'll see if I can get some more pictures, I'm taking some guests aboard for a tour.

Hehe, I caught you "live" too, just didn't realize it was you and yo' crew.

Ok, that rhymed but it was unintentional. I'm just cool like that :cool: :lol:

Anyhow, if I had knew, I would've waved at you :D

[Pingjockey]

Hey guys thanks for the support, One of my shipmates runs the ships store and I *may* be able to get a few ball caps and/other items for sale here. Let me know who is intrestred and I will see what I can do.
