Posts: 902 Norman,OK | This is what happens when you launch off one wave and into another. We crossed 10 miles with each and every wave breaking over the boat like this. This was actually one of the smaller ones, it took us both working to keep the boat upright in the bigger ones. ![[Linked Image]](http://inlinethumb20.webshots.com/3603/2013885600084286421S500x500Q85.jpg)

Don't critique my form! or the broken ring on my trapeze system. ![[Linked Image]](http://inlinethumb02.webshots.com/4545/2473943240084286421S500x500Q85.jpg)

Posts: 902 Norman,OK | Nope, it was one of the 7 dollar ones that you can get from any photo place. THey are disposable and you can't hurt the things. Ours was tied to the tramp with about an 8 foot long line. It ended up dragging behind the boat most of the time.
The pictures are the greatest but they look fine for what I do. I had a really nice digital camera and just got tired of always worrying about it and stuff so I sold it and just us disposable ones now. If I happen to lose one...no biggie.

Posts: 902 Norman,OK | Nope, just a film one! They work great.
Stay away from those new disposable digital ones right now. I work in the photo lab at CVS to get some extra hours and those things suck. I think it will be three or four years before they make a good one that works like it should.

Posts: 902 Norman,OK | We launch from Corpus Christi and sailed to Port Lavaca and back. We could have done the whole thing in two days easily but we wanted to make it last, plus in the afternoon the wind usually came up and made it almost impossible to sail.

Posts: 902 Norman,OK | Yep, 5.2 at least for a while longer. I am going to build a F16 class cat. Then the 5.2 will probably for those taking new people out on and a loaner boat for friends.
