My new boat
 

I've seen the light! Bob has convinced me that the only important
qualities in a boat are pointing ability and heeling. So I sold my
PDQ and had enough money to buy not one, but two of these beauties!
My wife wanted white and my daughter wanter red, so I figured, why not
both? To maximize the cruising range, I had them fitted with wing
keels. Note the swim platforms.

The yard didn't have the right jackstands, so I had them setup on my
front lawn:

Where are your jackstands?

Actually, I took the picture myself last week with a little Pentax
waterproof camera.

Hey, how is that? I need to replace my Pentax Optio 5si.

Optio WP

Not a great camera, but waterproof down to 5 feet. The zoom is sealed
in the body. We got it to use on the kayak and its already survived a
few incidents that would have killed any "weather resistant" camera.
As always, the camera that's small enough to carry, or tough enough to
take anywhere, takes much better pictures than the one left behind.

What's not great? Slow? Poor focus? Low light focus is often an
achilles heal with small P&S.

Low light is one issue. A lot of pics come out a bit muddy. The one
I posted is an example, although the day was heavily overcast with a
bit of drizzle. However, for the last few years I've used a G5, which
is infinitely better so I've been a bit spoiled on light gathering.

The other problem is the lack of viewfinder, which means that in
bright light where the screen gets washed out, you're shooting blind.

I like the teeth on the bulb.

Its rather neat that almost the entire weight is supported by that
little bracket.

Note the giant papaya in the background.

Supported or is it just balanced properly?
