Nice, Frankie! The inlet looks kinda choppy. Further up the harbor it was much calmer. I got a few pix coming... the Aqua Mania calendar girls were at the lunch stop. :evilb: |

Thanks, Dean Thanks Dean, Aqua Mania was the second boat I saw make the turn into Boca Grande Pass, coming from the Gulf. "Go Fast" did look like an OL V-bottom, but you have to remember how far away, I was shooting from. The red buoy in the third shot is 1.5 miles away, and the beach in the background of most of the close-up shots is 1 mile away. Most of the close-up shots were at 200mm, the maximum focal length of my lens

I got a few pix coming... the Aqua Mania calendar girls were at the lunch stop. :evilb: Thank you, coming from you, that means allot. Were you ridding with someone? The inlet seemed choppy, but nothing like Friday, it was really rocking and rolling. A small boat went over, and as of Sat morning the body had not yet been found. I think I need longer, faster, professional quality "L" series, white Canon glass. I can dream, but it's not in the budget this year. PRA Cape Coral, all 40 pictures |
Great stuff Frank. It looks like you are hooked on a new hobby. Reading your posts it sounds like taking pictures and boating are similar from the standpoint of always wanting to upgrade or modify something

Nice pics Frank. i talked to the driver of aqua mania at
the after party at tarpon point ( the party before and after was great ) He said 175 to180 mph the water was to rough to go for 218 record. Rick :boat: I did not see anything close to those speeds. I was at Boca Grande pass, and everyone slowed as they made the turn around the Johnson Shoals, running about 60 through the pass. Those I saw acted in a safe and responsible manner, in the turn and through the pass.
