Super Boat Nationals
Hey, guys. This year is the 1st annual Super Boat Nationals at Clearwater Beach. This is the last race of the season, so this should be pretty intense. Today was practice...so some of the boats were out feeling things out.
I tell you what...these guys have some big cajones! I'd guess they were doing 80-100mph and the water wasn't very forgiving. Mix in the 2-4ft chop that was coming off boat's wakes and hitting our boat...it was VERY hard to get some decent pictures.
I'll be back out there tomorrow for the real races. There is one at 11AM and one at 1PM. Hopefully, I'll have those up tomorrown night.
Probably the best looking boat out today. Geico certainly sponsors this race team! They had this boat, another open cockpit race boat cruising around that I think is meant for advertising, a baller trailer truck, and even a nice truck to follow the boat on the trailer.

Wait for it...

BAM! There it is!

Crappy picture, but he ALMOST lost it!

This thing was pretty

Another crappy picture to show the rooster

The worst picture, but it was the only one I took of 3 race boats coming right at us.

There went the one on the right from above

And the one from the middle...

I'll follow up tomorrow with some better pictures IF we get a good spot and IF it's not too choppy.
