I think this boat was not on the hunt, however we thought they were at the start. No idea who they are.

Superb pictures Andy - up to your usual standard!

Isn't the blue/yellow RIB one of the Solent demo RIBs?

Andy · 15 June 2004, 21:37

Not just my work, also Rickys (Thorper)

The Jackeens · 15 June 2004, 21:38

Ya may be right Rich .....

Tim Griffin has the 6.9 solent can't remember if he had a yami on the back.

Looks like theres a Kiddie chair on it too.

perfect pictures

If there is any interest I will put up an ftp site, where you can all upload the pictures in full resolution. Then I could put the onto a cd or dvd and mail out to you

Let me know if this has any interest

Its not easy on a speeding rib! Because it was a fairly sunny day, I could force the shutter speed up on my camera, so there is no blurring from camera shake. Also I can shoot at 3-4 shots / second, so for most of those pictures there are a couple of others that we didnt publish. The the great advantage of digital cameras are that you can throw the rest away!

Ricky,

How do you keep the camera dry when you are on the boat?

I have just bought a D70 & I don't think it will take a soaking like my old 35mm SLRs did.

Cheers.

Hi Brambles

When I'm not using it it lives in a drybag in its case surrounded by something soft.

When I'm using it.... our boat is very dry unless you're out in high winds & F5 or more, which isnt really camera weather anyway! Usually keeping an eye out for waves & spray and using your body is enough to keep it dry. It wasnt a problem for the ribnet treasure hunt.

Hi Ricky

Thanks for your reply. I was planning to do the same as you. I asked the question in the vain hope that you had discovered a camera cape/cover that actually worked! Like the website BTW. I took my PADI open water in Gozo this year & had a great time, but I haven't been diving in UK yet.

All the best.

Brambles.
