Douglas, I love these drawings. I visited Guadalupe in August aboard the Solmar V. What an unbelievable experience. I am putting together a video of my journey and would very much like to include one or two of your maps if I could. I would of course give you appropriate credit. Would that be OK? Cheers, Tom Mellinger
ReplyDeleteTom, please feel free to use the maps for your video.
