High tech / Low tech

High tech (upper half of the photo):

The entrance to the Dun Laoghaire marina. You bet!
Finger print recognition, no less.
Wow. This is bound to impress Willie from Treasury Risk Analysis and Control.
When you take him for a spin on your new Sunseeker Predator 72*
The bastard really was gloating after taking you for a spin in his new Maserati bought with the retirement package agreed by a previous government

Low tech (lower half of the photo - what a coincidence...):

The exit from the Dun Laoghaire marina, with the fingerprint-blind-push-to-exit-button

Also low tech:

Anto with the 2.5 meter long length of bamboo/rigid wire/car aerials taped together/anything-that will-be-2.5-meter-long-and-maneuverable. Anto who sticks it through the bars and presses the fingerprint-blind-push-to-exit-button for his mate Anto.

On a side note: if anyone is interested in a secondhand Pearl 50 in mint condition, a mate of mine is doing a cash deal that is too indecent to commit in print here.
On a side side note: the bikinied babe is for illustration purposes only and does not come with the boat. It's a marketing thing. Bikinis and boobs sell boats. Furry slippers and potato peelers don't...
On a side side side note: Today I read one of the most soul sapping articles in the Irish Times. In Ireland... In the 21st century... I am speechless


* with a cruising range of approximately 380 nautical miles, this 72 foot predator will find it challenging to seek some sun in the Dun Laoghaire area... Tis a long way to Bermuda...
