Ira just wrapped up photographing the F18 Americas Championship, and I drove for her one of the days. Those things haul ass!!! We were in a 18 ft. rib with a 90HP, and to get ahead of these things or do a ride-along with them involved some moderate butt-pucker... down wind OR up wind. The other challenging thing as a photo-boat driver is figuring out their bail-out angles. I want to get close, but if then need to come down hard in a puff the change in direction is a good amount larger than what a mono would do (understandable as the range of apparent wind angles are broader because the range of boat speeds are also larger). It was a ton of fun playing out on the SF bay with these rocket ships!



Extreme weather in Montenegro!! The Bora wind is not uncommon in the Adriatic but this one was the worst in many years with some boats wintering with us in Porto Montenegro seeing 99kts! We recorded 79kts on Intrepid Bear! Whilst out filming for the channel a particularly strong gust hit us, nearly knocking Kate off her feet…our windex recorded it at 75kts! #sailboat #bora #superyacht #boat #windy #extremeweather #montenegro #lifeonaboat #liveaboard #mediterranean
