That's a big'un all right. Image stabilization has come a long way
since the Korean war however. You can now buy binoculars with
minature elecronic gyros that are almost unbelievably good.
Unfortunately I haven't seen anything comparable in camera technology
other than the really high end professional gear. Hand holding a
long telephoto lens on a moving boat is very difficult but if you push
up the ASA number to 400 or so you can use very fast shutter speeds.

What? You're on St. Martin/Ste. Maartin and haven't got around to Club
Orient?


It's only a few miles way but you have to wait for a break in the
trade winds before you can anchor there comfortably.

What's the law on guns there?


Not sure, we don't carry any except for a few 25mm "signaling
devices". :-)

If I recall, Orient Beach is next to the dump. You really want the wind
in your favor.

Yes, but you suffer with "noise" the higher the ASA.
