Propeller Magazine Sep/Oct 2017 Published My Photos

The American Power Boat Association's magazine published some of my photos in their latest issue of Propeller Magazine, Sep/Oct 2017.  The boat club is mentioned on the cover "SMBC is Back" and the article is on page 18 (20 on the scroll bar)

There is a major typo, listing the photos by "Kathy Norris, Calm Reflections" instead of "Joanna Macaulay, Calm Reflections Photography".  Kathy apologized.  I suspect she helped get the story published and someone misunderstood.  The cover has a wooden race boat photographed from above.  

Recreation boat demo at the SMBC 2017 Summer Regatta 2

Jim was in the recreational antique boat afternoon demo at the Southern Maryland Boat Club 2017 Summer Regatta on July 30th too.  Approximately 2 PM.  He was thrilled to be participating with his Centurion barefoot ski boat called "The Rocket", since it can go around 55 mph. 

All the noise in the background is caused by wind and boats being trailered in for the next demo.

Recreational Antique Boats show off at the Southern Maryland Boat Club 2017 Summer Regatta on July 30th.  My husband,  Jim was part of the demo in his Centurion Barefoot ski boat (White with gray stripes) The Allison boat created a little excitement after a minute or so, right after you hear "Jim Macaulay is coming up on the inside". 

Morning heat around 10 AM.  

Video in bright sunlight is always challenging with my camera, since it is difficult to see through the live view screen.

Tunnel Hull boats 2 SMBC Regatta July 29

Second video of the Tunnel hull boats, really powerful race boats running a demonstration.  These boats can drive over 100 mph.  They are all vintage boats owned by the Southern Maryland Boat Club members at the Leonardtown Wharf.  This was the third club Regatta, where the owners and drivers could show off their boats to the public in a much safer situation than a race.  There were no winners, just happy club members.

The weather was miserable, so after one run of each type of boat, they cancelled for the rest of the day till the weather improved on July 30th.

Upcoming Southern Maryland Boat Club Vintage Regatta July 29-30

Jim's Boat Club is having their annual Vintage Power Boat Regatta this weekend, July 29-30 at the Leonardtown Wharf,  8 am - 5 pm.  All of the boats are antiques and there are no winners, but the club members all have a great time racing around the course. 

My husband, Jim, is looking forward to participating.  We seem to be having a few difficulties this year, but hopefully everything will go well.
  
Here are a few photos from previous years.

Southern Maryland Boat Club Regatta July 30-31, 2016: Disability Be Damned!

Jim is a member of the SMBC and participated in the Regatta this year for the first time at Leonardtown Wharf. This was very special for him because he has extra disabilities to overcome to be in the demos and made quite a few modifications to his boat to drive in the Regatta.  His boat is a 1985 Ski Centurion Warrior Barefoot boat.  His boat's speed was about 55 mph.

He enjoyed showing off his boat and wants to thank his pit crew for all of their help.  It was quite hot, but lots of fun and we also enjoyed the lovely club dinner at Rayner Blair's house Saturday night.

Someone from the club asked if I would offer my Regatta photos for sale, but mostly I am posting them for your enjoyment.
