Very nice Jaime. I like the distance better than the foreground. I think 
foam will help. Maybe in the Caribbean the water is that clean, but not 
off New England. :)

I worked on this tub http://www.mysticwhalercruises.com/

One job I hated was "Balaska! Polish the bell!".
Summer sun on the open water, I'd be stripped down to my cut-offs and 
bandana. I found out later the purpose was to draw the white pegs [1] 
out of their cabins below and they'd come hang out on deck and *not* 
watch me sweat. ;)

[1] On the cruise cabin assignment board in the land office, cabins were 
assigned by gender. White pegs were single women. We loved cruises with 
several white pegs...
