Just a quibble, but the image we're using for this stub (which, I should say, does make an excellent little stub image) is a beach photograph. Not exactly ocean is it? Anyway, it's not a big deal, but if someone has a more ocean-themed photograph, that might be better. I'm only a modeller, so I don't go to sea myself! I will ask around here though.
