[Bobcat]

Bah....Just some Rain and 20 MPH Winds....Paddleboard Weather

[Bobcat]

Truck is empty...Fluids topped off....Leave out of Lil' Torch in the AM.

[Blue Oval]

May the force be with you!

[john acosta]

That would be a real bummer to have a weather cancelation.

only race of the year and no supercats?

[Blue Oval]

Ouch, that is a brutal thought. The sailboats raced in 30 mph winds last week.The powerboats can’t let the blow boats out do them. Hey Bobcat, if you find they are streaming that on The web let us know.

[Ratickle]

It does seem like the outlook is a bit better.

88396

[Bobcat]

Down to 10%. I don't like the look of all the others though:leaving:

Heading North.

[Bobcat]

Checking in from Palm Harbor

[Ratickle]

Kind of lost I think......


88399

[rschap1]

Safe travels

[Bobcat]

I'm here....wifi is too slow...posting from phone

[Bobcat]

All right....I set new World Record for the Kessel Run (Clearwater to Morehead City NC) I did the 11 Hour Run in 13.5 Hours.....Holy Crap I need a new GPS...

I-10 to Jacksonville went from three to one Lane......Lost an Hour there....Then Rain in SC slowed I-95 down to 10 MPH for an Hour...Plus the usual GPS Hijinks ...


Rerouting Me from 301 back to 301...Multiple times..Motel has Chairs and Ashtrays outside of every Room....Everyone Smokes but Me.....I'll be out there Tomorrow with

a Dominican Churchill....Maduro....Suck it up Nancy's.

[Ratickle]

Need a selfie of you and your stogie!!!

[Bobcat]

Just dickin around with the 2X Extender on the 400 MM Lens....Using a Monopod...This is at 800MM....I think with a Tripod it would be clear...This

Radio Island....all the way across the Inlet

88403

[Bobcat]

Got some almost good shots at 500 MM

88404

[Bobcat]

Don't forget, you have a T5, which has an ASP-C sensor. So, your 800MM (400MM with 2X), is actually a 1280MM lens.

This first-class sensor features many of the same technologies used by professional Canon cameras to maximize each pixel's light-gathering efficiency and has center pixels that aid in the EOS Rebel T5i's accurate AF performance. This APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x field of view (compared to 35mm format).

Received this a little while ago.

Hi Paul,

Due to some last minute insurance changes, the Morehead City race is not sanctioned by the APBA. It is solely sanctioned by OPA. You can find more accurate information on their website: oparacing.org

Best,

Rebecca Nichols
Director of Operations, APBA

[john acosta]

In other words APBA wanted many muches more lots o, $$$$$$$ from smitty . LOL

[Bobcat]

Pengy's already drunk 88407

[Blue Oval]

OMG

[john acosta]

So was there a race there today or not?:huh:

[Ratickle]

Yep. First race was a parade from what I heard. One or two boats in each GPS class.

[Ratickle]

Second race Jackhammer flipped in the first corner? Torrente won by half a mile or so I heard.

[Ratickle]

All I've heard so far.

No coverage to speak of.

[john acosta]

thanx

Trying to explain all that techno stuff is futile. His pics look the same as his old flip phone.:26:

[Bobcat]

Powers out...In My Room only...Enjoying a cup of Cold Coffee...Of course now the Internet works...I was hoping to have a full thermos for the ride Home

Still can't post pics though.

[fund razor]

Damn sad statement on the state of trimming and edging in this country right now. :(

[Bobcat]

I was actually worried it would catch Fire...Back Home...17 Hours...with a side gig through the Everglades. I cut down rte 76 to Okeechobee..You want to see some beautiful Country...and

same abject Poverty...That's Your Route..adds an Hour +.

I was a bit far away...But figgered out some decent shots..and a lot of Borderline stuff as is My M.O.

[Bobcat]

I think the Storm in the Background was beautiful Canvas for My Art:rolleyes:

Due to the Rain...I kept walking back and forth to the Van...The last race I took the Camera only...and ran out of room on the Card:banghead:

So I missed most of the Race...

884898849088491

[Bobcat]

Don't stop now!

We are all wondering when Gayboat will chip in with how well your photos look.

Gonna start a pool!!!

[Bobcat]

I was born 40 Years too late for OP-Art !!!!

[Ratickle]

You need to take some pics around Key West and post them on a Bobcat thread of what Gayboat really wanted to be...
