St Pete - You Had To See It To Believe It!
 
What a day.

I was lucky enough to be in a helo to shoot this run. :cool:
The wind had been whipping through the Gulf for days and the water in Tampa Bay proved it.
It looked like 4-6's from the air, but I'll bet that nasty stuff felt bigger in a boat. :eek:

This shot sums up the day.
Mercedes-Benz, Aqua Mania and Pure Platinum all coming to the same conclusion at the same time: F@#K THIS!!! :drink:
You can see how far into the gulf it took them to reach the U-turn conclusion.

My pilot was fighting the wind all day- trying to hold position and could not turn into the wind-
we had to go the long way around every time, and couldn't go too low for obvious reasons.

Quite a memorable day, especially for the 8 rough riders that managed to make it to the lunch stop!

Chit Jay your pictures keep getting better with each run, these latest ones are awesome, thanks for sharing. Who knows what year Jim's boat is. I know it has been around a while but it never seem to get old.

mmareno 04-01-2009 05:29 AM
Curious???

How did the Statement Boat run. I know it was rough but did it run the whole run or was it one of the boats that went back.?

GLH 04-01-2009 05:29 AM

I heard yes- it was one of the eight. No surprise considering the innovative design of that thing.
It was explained to me at the party on Friday that the whole interior- floor and seats - rides on a big air cushion. It moves.
Well... it was definitely moving on Saturday. :drink:
