Really liked the camera in the boat. Went for a ride and didn't get wet. Thanks!

That is a beautiful boat, fantastic set you have there. If it were not for you being right there, I would never have thought it was a model.

Gawd that's nice Christian. The low angle to the water gives a sense of super fast motion, very cool.  Great way to spend a summer day...

for an instant you had me fooled there, but when I saw the owner sitting in the water, then I made sense
