| Post subject: | Watching Superboats in Sarasota bay from Tandem Island |
I had a really fun time out today on my TI watching Superboats go by as they get ready for the offshore races tomorrow in Sarasota. I'm a huge superboat fan (former powerboat racer) so just watching and listening to these boats is one the coolest things I know. With my TI I had a Birdseye view of the boats, but only have a sucky Iphone so sorry about the video quality. One of the boats was just sitting in the water, I think they were working on the motor, I paddled up and asked if they needed a tow, they declined. One thing that I didn't know is the wakes those boats generate are huge, ( some of those boats are over 40 ft long so their huge) . enjoy: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtScPGyi7Ow&feature=youtu.be[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NzptmujLSA&feature=youtu.be[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMiT_5eG3es&feature=youtu.be[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwscc1wxr5c&feature=youtu.be[/youtube] |

I'll be they thought you were joking when you asked if they needed a tow. |

For those interested here is a replay of the live broadcast of the race, you can find it here ( http://new.livestream.com/sbi/sarasota2013 ) this is the biggest superboat event in the world (http://superboat.com/) and it was really fun to be there. We had about 50 in our group right on the beach and we had a giant floating raft that we watched the races from (you can see our blue raft in the foreground at minute 28). Our best friends brother was one of the owner/drivers so we were rooting them on. Wife doesn't allow me to take the TI out on race day (too many drunk wannabe racers). Bob |

iPhones can produce some great HD vids actually. My iPhone 5 vids are close on the heels of my GOPRO Hero 2. Pete |
