Needs editing, good looking eagle however. Taken from jet boat, lots
of jumping around due to boat motion. Press HD button if you have a
fast connection.

You could have saved $10,000. This guy lives in Estero ;-)

True but Estero seems to be short on snow covered mountain peaks and
moose meadows for background scenery. And although the Estero River
has some tricky navigational challenges, it ain't nuttin compared to
the Chilkat where the channels literally change overnight, current
runs at over 6 knots and deep water is 24 inches.
