TT & TC, I have an underwater case for my camera, but it doesn't do me any good sitting in the condo. :( It feels like the camera might have problems now. The S80s are pretty sensitive to moisture. The door is getting stuck again since the snow storm.

Thanks, SG! What did you do on Sun?

TC, maybe he's special? ;) Looks like you registered the same day!

More great pics- thanks Joe. I can't believe how zoomed in ya got on the shark rocks. Even after walking all the way down there, mine still came out so tiny you could barely see them. :( I need to save up for a zoom lens.
Anyway, wonderful pics!
