I love how much boat you can squeeze into a shot with a fisheye lens. This is a cheap Opteka 0.42x I got on eBay. It screws onto the front of my Kodak P850.
Hey Dad! We Fit!

Sailing involves the courage to treasure adventure, and the wisdom to fear danger. Knowing where one ends, and the other begins, makes all the difference.
The fish eye lens captures a lot of interior in one shot too.
The interior is nearly complete. I made new curtains, stuffed LED lights into teak dome light frames, glued teak battens to the overhead, removed & refinished the ash ceiling (tough sanding - hard as rock), stripped & refinished the bulkheads, added teak racks for storage, etc.
I just need to replace the tired old cabin sole with some fresh teak & holly, maybe next year.
Cheers,
John :)

I've always loved this fisheye shot of the Boston Skyline from Portuguese Cove in Boston Harbor. I took this shot early last summer. Campfires on the beach there are pretty nice, watching the sun go down over the city. The bottom is good solid clay/mud, and the cove offers perfect protection from the summer SW'er. Dont be afraid to anchor up tight to the beach, as it stays deep way back in. Practically no wakes here; it's away from any shipping lanes on the other side of the islands.
Cheers,
John
