The download is working again

This thing is pretty amazing doing fly-by's over most known surf-spots/coastlines in the world, especially when the pictures were taken on a day with surf so you can see whitewater lines.

A side bonus i found (besides entertaining me) is my daughter (13) has been playing with it and expanding her brain - geography wise, and inquiring 'bout all kinds of stuff -

Small minds need this kind of stuff to grow up smarter and more caring than us...

2 cents.

I have created a placemark file of some surf spots around Oahu:

be sure and "play" the tour of these, it will pan around the island to each one in order.
