Cool Boating Pix

So about a week ago, Jack, Harry and I went boating on the Chesapeake for the afternoon. Trying to get in ONE more afternoon on the water before the weather gets cool -- will it ever? Master Jackson decided to forgo a lovely afternoon on CHOPPY water so he's not part of this particular blog moment.

In any event, I wanted to post a few photos that I thought would be fun to share. First, and I think quite funny, we had two different photographer-services take photos of us that afternoon (a first for us) -- one guy was standing on his own boat on the Severn River by the Annapolis Harbour taking random photos of boats passing by with a huge advertising sign and website enscribed -- his service then posts the photos online that evening and you can purchase the hi-res image for $9.95. We did and it's the photo you see of Jack, Harry and me on the boat. About 20 minutes after that, we saw this helicopter flying WAY too low on the Bay almost doing some aerobatic moves. Couldn't figure it out...as we got closer, it TOO got close to us and sure enough, another photographer was leaning out a door with a huge lens taking many photos of us....they circled once and came back nearly attacking us (like in a James Bond film) and I acted like a total idiot showing him my rock-star pose. The photos are purchased thru boatpix.com and are only $250 (yeah, right) for a 16x20 with no mention of copyright of the image. We have to decide if we'll go for that but what stinks is we can't preview the photos. But to have an aerial would be amazing. Anyway, lastly, the few other photos are taken from my new iphone. Not bad for a camera phone!

Enjoy!
