Yes, however there are a couple of things that rattle my teeth, so to speak 
:-)
- Dimensions are contradictory: The boat is the size of an ocean steamer 
(almost) compared to the palm trees and the island. It should be scaled down 
by almost 50 to 80% I guess.
- Why are the fronds facing us like windmills ?
