My guess is clover mite. One would need a much better pic to see positive ID characteristics.

Thanks. I'll look up Clover Mite - yikes! Well, I looked up the mites and the red insect I saw is about 3 times bigger than the clover mite - it's about the size of a smallish tick.

Guido, is it a coincidence or is the geographer in me inherently prurient
to think that the spot on the map where Capt Cook ran aground on the Great
Barrier Reef of some significance in the design of your wearable chart?

There you go again Reilly, making me look up new words. Is it true, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line? And why did they call them Limeys when lemon was a better antiscorbutic solution for scurvy? I guess "bloody Lemoneys" just doesn't make it in the pub?

Sometimes, it is a good idea to pick up a couple extra crew when planning a long passage and you just have to take what's available.

Guido/Reilly, Blimey! On a plane surface this would be the shortest distance between two points.
Rhumbahaha. Brouhaha.
Rhumb line. Unibrow.
Nice navigator, Guido! Beats dead reckoning all to hell.

John M, it almost looks like a subset of Niagra Falls without the water...what's the story, diverted water for some project?

I kind of barely remember hearing something about it, maybe in Life magazine, I was 15 at the time.
