We went out for a family boat trip this weekend on the St, Clair River, between Lake Huron and Lake St. Clair, and on the return trip, we saw these crazy guys! I say crazy, because the water was 41 F! Wetsuits or not, that's cold!

On the way out, this fire-breathing monster roared by: "Sunsational"...unfortunately, I had the 400mm on at the time trying to get some gull shots. As he was going about 80 MPH as he went by, no time to change. Have you ever tried to balance one of those lenses in a boat, in 2 feet of chop, while trying to steer?

Not too bad considering your shooting in a boat, they appear slightly out of focus but that could also be movement, hard to tell though from these.
Hey, people go take a dip in below 0 weather, why not do this when it's "warmer" :D
