Sorry they were so long coming, these are some of the best ones from the waterproof camera. There were alot of times that we wanted to take pictures but the wave size didn't allow us to so here are the ones we did get to take.

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.

Here I am, trapped out just flying along, we spend alot of time with one guy resting in the middle of the tramp and the other guy sailing the boat from the trapeze.

Don't critique my form! or the broken ring on my trapeze system.

This is my partner in crime! There is no one I would rather trust my life or my boat to.

NACRA SIZZLE! Calm water and pretty light wind but we still had a pretty good head of steam.

These are the ferrys at Port Aransas that scared us to death. Imagine the old game Frogger and you will know what it felt like to try and get through there!

Nice PICS!!
Is this like a professional waterproof camera or what did you use? I would love to get some action pics myself.

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.

Was it a disposable digital one? I think they have those now... I know they have the waterproof disposable film ones.

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.

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.

Not the form. Just WAY to high. Need to be level with the hull.

Come to the Dike with us some time.

I know that I am to high, the day before we had been dealing with HUGE waves and we had run into problems with our bodies hitting the waves so we raised up a little to get out of the water.

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.
