The wide angle on the lens distorts the angle that the boats are coming in. There was a bit of overstanding becuase of an adverse current, but if you were caught in a position like PUR 340 (Francisco Figueroa), you were gasping for air. You can tell he's hardly moving after just being rolled by 544 and 16.
