An idyllic way to spend a day for folks intrepid enough to venture out in that tiny vessel. You can see them out in the strait in my previous post.

Wayne, during my long active career, I've seen many of these tiny vessels sailing in open water.
They are frightening to passing sea-going vessels because they're hardly visible, because of the blind sector in front of the bow of the seagoing vessel formed below the imaginary line from the bridge along the bow to the sea surface. This also applies to this tiny leisure vessel because it doesn't even have a radar reflector in the top of its mast. I suppose the sailors on board aren't aware of the danger, because they don't even wear life jackets (if I see it correctly). Pleasure apparently goes hand in hand with underestimating the danger. It's just what one chooses for.

Very nice capture, however.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

A great shot Wayne. Love the focal point here:) Looks like they have life vests on to me and I'm pretty sure they could spot a passing cargo ship a mile away:):) Gotcha Mr. C:):):)

The background bokeh and the strong contrasts within the Hobie makes it pop right off my screen. Excellent work.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Thanks Cornelius for that unique insight from a genuine mariner. I can't imagine the case of nerves trying to navigate through waters filled with small boats. Years ago one of our BC ferries ran over a sailboat, which didn't come out so well for the latter.
