btw pic was taken with Canon S1 is; gotta love that image stabilizer. We took dozen pics when driving around with my friend's boat and at some times the weather was little "bumpy" (Like "Look a wave... WEEEEEeee ouch my back hurts" bumpy) and every pic is really sharp.
Gotta get rid of my Olympus :D

LOL


it remind me my uncle..
probably 15 years ago, he were rtb to Durban port. They had yeneker out and there were so strong wind, that they could not pull it down, they entered port with a full yeneker and it were somehow a problem, coz they were pretty fast, so they pulled out jenny and took some wind off and then they take out yeneker.

they were lucky to not destroy katamaran (25 m long) and master of port made picture of them and he welcomed them.. "hey guys that was very nice" ... LOL they were still shaking :D

I was little suspicious when we went out to the sea; We just switched the prop to plastic one with adjustable pitch (well not plastic; Swedish ProPulse composite (http://www.propulse.se/english/) four blade). Too bad you still have to pull engine up for changing the pitch; maybe in few years it'll be automatic :)
