Do ya all like boats...

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hey Bindi, these are great actions shots. Navigating in conditions like that must be a challenge, but it sure looks like fun.

Sue,

I can't see where I could put my diving gear or how I'd get back into the boat after a dive.

Thanks everyone... :)

and yeah they do come and get you if your unfortunate enough to flip the boat... as for diving though I dunno if you would feel a bit odd diving in only 3 foot of water (at its deepest..lol).. and yup one thing I have learnt though is that if your in a hurry the quick release belts dont feel quite so errrr quick... :P

and noooo photo's from onboard... I have enough trouble focusing on solid ground..lol..

but you are all right... it is loads of fun.. I always enjoy myself whether I just tog or get to Navigate.. who says that women cant read maps huh.. ;)

The Jet Sprints at Cabarita are only on twice a year and the next now wont be till next year but I will be sure to let everyone know when they are on... if anyone has chance to attend an event like this do yourself a favour and go and you will find the togging opportunities are great! :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

I'll let you know... although I think the next one that would be close enough to travel to is in Hervey Bay... :)
