I just run it through the Adobe Editor's quickfix and sharpen it a little before I resize it. It took a lot of playing around to get it to look sharp on the internet but have the file size small enough so it would load quickly.

Being close to home I can watch the weather and chose when I'm going where. You can't always do that on a cruise. It's the luck of the draw. I've learned so much from all the good photographers on this board. Some of the techniques used in bad weather are really useful to me. I am looking forward to Party and the Panama Canal and have my fingers crossed for good light.
