Hi Lee & other fello Zuiks,
Here's a new folder of hydroplane pics from Lake Chelan Oct. 5. On the
water.
Maybe next time I'll be collected enough to put on the polarizer, get the
whole boat in the frame, and get the exposure correct. It's one thing to get
excited walking up close to them in the museum, another thing entirely to see
and hear them running, with people on both sides of you jabbering excitedly!
The Century 21 boat with the chrome valve covers is Merlin-powered, as is the
Budweiser. A smooth, sweet sound. The others are Allisons. LOUDER and very
"lumpy"/cam sounding. They don't want to idle at all, so they just fire the
engine off and go fast, right out of the "pits"! It must be something to sit
right behind that engine with open exhaust just a couple feet ahead of you!
