Have you ever seen a speedboat strut its stuff out on the open water? It can be so much fun to watch a fast boat cut a path through the water, leaving huge waves in its wake. For a peak at some cool speedboats, check out the Flickr speedboat photo gallery.

Other family members in Shepherdâs family also held respectable occupations.
In the work of Saxo Grammaticus, Nanna is a mortal princess who is fought over by the rivals Baldur and Hoder. In spite of various sorts of divine aid, Hoder still triumphs and Nanna marries (and prefers) him. Nanna is the goddess of love in darkness. As Baldur is the light and hope that one finds in the hardest times, Nanna is the love of others that holds us through those times. She can be called upon by those whose loved ones are lost in darkness â deep in depression or sorrow or pain, or who are dying â and who want to be there for them to the last ounce of their strength.
