**Summer weather is upon most of us, so show me some boats or any water sport for that matter... Let's see some fun stuff...**

Incredible catch Barbara, you know this was refurbished here on Whidbey Island. I went down to south Whidbey for the 1st launch, and it was a sight to see, as they lowered her down this long ramp the ropes broke loose and she went down way to fast and ended up nose first in the sand. Needless to say she needed more repairs before she could paddle out on her own... FYI... Akemi

Just enjoying the beautiful day... Sailing away...

**Got home from work the other day and this boat was in front of my house, so I snapped a shot, looking at it later I saw a website printed on the side, I looked it up and was surprised to find it was from Victoria BC, Canada, a whale watching boat. I live on Whidbey Island in Washington State... I guess they come a long ways to see the whales... looks like a fast boat too... anyway... another boat for this thread...**

What a fun & relaxing shot AJ... Would love to be sailing on a day like this...

TomDart posted Sun, 07 June 2009 at 5:57 PM

James, you might want to desaturate the water and add contrast to the next one.... : ) You have provided some fine boat shots, including this one. How deep is the water as close to shore as that boat appears to be?

I am glad to see this Simon take off with lots of responses. Tom.

I'm happy too Tom it's been a long time since we've had a good long Simon.... (camera your next up) Let's keep the ball rolling...
