Breakfast ride

Today after attempting to bathe in the cold waters of the river and getting a bit put off by the number of boats screaming up and down, John put his towel around him and trod back a few meters to our van.
I was panning with this boat and he suddenly decided to go really fast - not the best but good enough!

Three good things:
1. Moved to a higher place for lunch - a wonderful view over the river - people on ‘biscuits’ skiis and just alone all roaring past.
2. Down the valley towards the coast we settled in the Golf Course 9km out of Oamaru. The rabbits were incredible!
3. Some really good ribeye steaks while drinking red wine and watching the sun set over the distant mountains!
Looks pretty good to me! Never tried this myself. Sounds as if you had a great day:)

Ooh you aren't far from home! That wash behind that boat shows how that boat shot off, you kept it clear though! John is a brave chap! Bit too cold still I would have thought!

@happypat Sad to say - we really have to go home - not far. Then I have to cleanup - the fridge - the carpet, the rubbish etc....

@maggiemae you will be off again soon!

Better than good enough, the boat & men are sharp & the wash behind & slightly blurry background show the speed they are travelling.. I like following your travels. ")

It looks pretty good to me. They are really speeding along. Not so sure I would brave being in the water if it is cold and with boats racing by.

Gosh, that looks good. Well done!

great panning shot, maggiemae! aces!

Pretty good, especially when the speed of the boat changed so suddenly. Panning's no picnic even when you're following something travelling at a constant speed. Cool work!
