Very nice Tim!!! Looks like the new camera is working out very well!!
Was going to catch up with you in Solomons but got busy with the boat and when I seen you, you were busy.
Talk to you later. Great shots!!

I wish I could say that they were. 
Thanks to the helicopter for dropping down on the transom of the Start/Finish boat, blowing water onto my equipment and the TV crew's video equipment. Fortunately the TV Cam was wrapped in a plastic bag.
His rotor wash was so hard it ended up forcing the anchor to break free and put us adrift prior to the start of the second race.
For whatever reason he kept ignoring me waving him off...
I asked the chief scorer to get on the radio and tell him to back off. Suddenly he did.
End of the 2nd race, he came back and did it all over again !!!
Perhaps if I through a sandwich at him it would have got his attention... He certainly would have been able to catch it. Yes, he was that close !!!
To make things even worse, the awards was raining Champagne. Fortunately I was quick enough to dodge that mess...
I can't wait to see what the bills are going to be to have all 3 cameras and lenses serviced ......

I have some much closer pictures of the pilot than anyone could ever imagine !

I will post at a later date. Some shouldn't be posted because his license could be revoked.

More shots have been added.

Got a few. Nothing great, but a few...
A bit backed up at the moment. Going to be a while.
