Seeing the Salor Jerry boat thought I would ask the question------

Do you know who Sailor Jerry was?? Rum OK but not really..
Rum named after him...









Sailor Jerry was a famous Tattoo Artist. I have a friend with a couple of his tats...

Great job with the camera! That chopper pilot was unbelievable...the skids on that bird were submerged while she climbed aboard. We all held our breath. I'll try to upload the video.

The video would be great, as I have only seen it on Facebook, and can't copy that to the board.

I missed it, why was this person being picked up by a helo? What happened to them and are they alright?

Quite a feat for sure. I've watched the Park Police helo's do some pretty crazy tricks, lot of them are old Vietnam pilots that been there, done that, with bullets flying at them.

I was told that she was the pilot's girlfriend and that she hopped a ride in one of the Skaters to the raft up. so then she swims out and he scoops her up. There is a great picture posted of the bbq plates blown all over somebody's $50,000 paintjob. oops!

yea this pic is about a mile from where we were staying and on the other side of the river i shot it from our room on the 11th floor , to give you an idea it is on the other side of the blue bridge . I shot it at 450mm with my new camera body to see if it would be sharp , notice you can read the road sign. this pic may give you an idea.
