Elida and I were sailing students...

So NOT. That picture, if I remember correctly, was from an afternoon sail with Dav at the helm while I spent my time looking green, letting go of my lunch overboard.

As Dav explained on AkuAku, the photo was taken from his flickr stream by his sailing school for a poster and this online site. Other than the blatant disregard of his CC license that was non-commercial and attribution-required, it's sorta funny. And really funny that people would think that in fact Elida and I were sailing students. Elida could...but me? I'd get lost out in the ocean for sure.

I particularly like how our photo was chosen to be next to the phrase, "Using guidelines established by the ASA (American Sailing Association), Spinnaker Sailing offers courses to students from all walks of life." We represent!

p.s. pictures from Raindance coming...they are on Dav's mac at the moment.

That's actually another nice example of why the CC theory is really just a nice idealistic model of how things could be.
Which average Jane and Jon Doe really care to know what CC is, when people already feel that they're entitled to steal and freely use even fully copyrighted photos from the internet?
