Its 5:30am... time for water sports......


Never fails to amaze me how people go the extra mile for their sport.

It's shocking isn't it.   And I would want to fall in there as the water looks quite muddy.

Impressive captures DA.    Many sport's enthusiasts exhibit lots of passion for their particular sport.  For me 5:30 AM is a bit early to show my passion for diving.

It was funny,   I did the same route today at the same time and there was noting about and considering the water level was higher I was surprised.

The driver of the car also was also a bit daring,,  that slip way gets extremely slippery.

Funnily enough I had an email from him this morning.  Im delighted that it's now trackable on AIS.  And to top it off I spotted another TEL in the boat yard this morning.

Diehards must either be working today or recovering from yesterday's outing.

People do all kinds of things and sometimes go to amazing extents to reach their goals. I do agree upon the time being quite early and the water being muddy, but on the other hand, I've seen and heard people doing way weirder stuff, too!

And on the other hand, I bet that some people find my hobbies kooky. Somebody seeing all those Ferrari toy cars and model kits could imagine I'm just sitting all day long on my apartment's floor and going for make-believe rides on my toy cars.

They would probably say the same thing about my drone flights at that time of day too.

Sounds good.  It was sweltering hot here again yesterday so I decided to take the jetski out for a long ride.  However, even the wind was hot and muggy.  Oh well, I guess it could have been worse, especially comparing it to the sustained temperatures in Arizona.

Funny you mention the jetski,  I was chatting with one of the guys that lives on his boat yesterday,   I happened to mention that most of them never move,   and he said you cant take the risk of a jetski hitting you and legging it and leaving you sinking with all your possessions,  seemed fair enough and not something I had thought about before.

I saw the results of a jetski than ran through and demolished a dock behind a luxury home.  The dock and jetski were both destroyed.  Of course the jetski operator was killed instantly.

Well, we all have our own oddities, and that's not a bad thing as long as we are not harming ourselves, other people or animals or nature.

I flew over the local model ac club yesterday at 5:45am and there was a guy setting up 3 model planes,   I will have to be more careful at that time of day in future.

Seems to scare a few of the ones that live on board here,  and the bumbling sailer on YouTube Ive been watching also seems concerned about the boat insurance as it's now his home.

No doubt there is always a chance somebody can ram into your boat.  However, just as likely to happen to homes on land also.

True,   but the house is less likely to sink

Good to know about the surrounding factors, helps avoid surprises when flying.

Unless a sinkhole opens up under it like this one did in California.
