It's fairly quick too - 3500 rpm - 33 mph.

Very nice looking when the sun rises also.

And a pic of Bomb Island - where Doolittle practiced for his famous
Tokoyo raid.

More later as soon as I can get them processed.

Nice looking boat, was that a Yamaha on the transom? I know it could
not have been an ETEC, no one owns any of them.

Not true. Harry has spotted a couple of them on rescue/ law enforcement
boats.


That must be a law enforcement boat then.


In a sense, one could look at it that way. :)

I have been on Murray many times, and it never looked as good as it did
in Tom's photos. I thought he was using an ultra wide lens, but he shot
that with a Canon PowerShot with the equivalent of a 59mm lens. Very
nice. Not too shabby for a point and shoot


That camera has had the crap beat out of it and it still takes a great
image.
