and I know it is probably too short notice for most...but if anyone is interested the Australian Championships for Jet Sprint Boat racing is on tomorrow (5th November) at Cabarita Beach...Round Mountain Road from 9am. Cost is $20 per adult....byo chair...food is available to buy but you are welcome to byo....the same applies to drinks...but no glass allowed peoples....bring some chairs or a blanket to sit on...and if you have one a portable shade thingy..

There is plenty to photograph especially if you like action stuff as the boats always seem to photograph well...a helicopter is also there doing joy flights...$50/person...and if you ask nicely they will remove the door for you for brilliant arial shots...I am able to assist with battery recharging etc for any that may need it...

I'n navigating in one of the boats as well as photographing some of it...so if anyone does decide to drop in do come and introduce yourself...I shall be with racing team 'Still Pumping'...

Just a couple from todays practice run....I did warn him he was a tad close...

Now that's dedication with a bif capital 'S' for stupidity!

Nicely captured!

Jet Sprints are a great event, look forward to seeing some piccies

Best of luck with the navigation - I've seen how quick these guys have to think, and how it can go really badly wrong really really quickly

I thought I was a tad thick when it came to water shots, but this bloke takes the prize...

HAHAHAHA

Oh dear! Nice bit of advertising for TEN.

The way he is holding it there it looks like it is in a water housing. Perhaps this was exactly the shot he was trying to get. The sequence shows him only turning his head away and not trying to get any of the gear out of the way. Seems planned to me.

Cheers,
