[Public-list] Wrong boat for the conditions

[John Irving]

I'm very interested in the photo sequence. Based on the progress of
the powerboat in the background, these photos appear to have been shot
in rapid succession. Excellent resolution on the photos, and the
photographer couldn't have been in a better position to witness the
action. Nicely done.

I'm glad to see that nobody appeared to be hurt by the experience.
