Once you&#8217;ve clicked on an individual photo, the commentary will appear when you hover your mouse over the pic. If you don&#8217;t click, you&#8217;ll only see the brief caption if you hover over the pic. You can of course choose not to go full screen and just look at each pic here via dragging, grabbing, etc., or just use the slideshow function.<\/p>\n<!-- AQIAgqa9uXF7 -->\r\n<!-- Cincopa WordPress plugin wp1.161: \/\/www.cincopa.com\/media-platform\/wordpress-plugin.aspx -->\r\n<div id=\"cp_widget_AQIAgqa9uXF7_38b84c88a79846634817cd2de88d5f7a\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cincopa.com\/media-platform\/runtime\/loading.gif?w=594\" style=\"border:0;\" alt=\"Cincopa WordPress plugin\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\/* PLEASE CHANGE DEFAULT EXCERPT HANDLING TO CLEAN OR FULL (go to your Wordpress Dashboard\/Settings\/Cincopa Options ... *\/\r\n\/\/ cp_load_widget(\"AQIAgqa9uXF7\", \"cp_widget_AQIAgqa9uXF7_38b84c88a79846634817cd2de88d5f7a\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n<p>Same gallery here in a different format:<br \/>\n<!-- A4EALpq-v3Qg -->\r\n<!-- Cincopa WordPress plugin wp1.161: \/\/www.cincopa.com\/media-platform\/wordpress-plugin.aspx -->\r\n<div id=\"cp_widget_A4EALpq-v3Qg_2b2aed0fcdbba805c9bea41e55c48d35\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cincopa.com\/media-platform\/runtime\/loading.gif?w=594\" style=\"border:0;\" alt=\"Cincopa WordPress plugin\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\/* PLEASE CHANGE DEFAULT EXCERPT HANDLING TO CLEAN OR FULL (go to your Wordpress Dashboard\/Settings\/Cincopa Options ... *\/\r\n\/\/ cp_load_widget(\"A4EALpq-v3Qg\", \"cp_widget_A4EALpq-v3Qg_2b2aed0fcdbba805c9bea41e55c48d35\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"e26b170012445c56d240655bdd03f7bf\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5595881567027133\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"4374909701\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went out on a friend&#8217;s boat on Saturday and obviously took along my camera.
