Flat battery, lee shore, marooned in paradise

Danger of fire is ever present on a boat. Petron is a real hazard. Using a
battery powered outboard and then discovering the Duracell bunny is nowhere
to be found just as the storm closes in could result in a reassessment of
priorities!

Bummer, clearly you need a boat that can be paddled.

And yes I know the highlights are blown, it was taken with my little
point and shoot.

Hell man... I can do that with 5D!
What I have a problem doing is cutting off the bow and the boat staying
afloat!

Well that is always the question in this kind of shot, do I frame it
such that the whole boat in
included but then loose a lot of detail of the paddlers or to I come
in closer so you can see the paddlers better?

I mostly try to get the close in shots since I find those to be more
interesting.

And remarkably dry as well.

That's usually referred to as "poor seamanship"
