Title: Viper Swim Team
Post by: Jason Hyerstay on November 21, 2011, 02:03:00 PM
Hiking strap tie-down broke, and this moment of beauty was caught on film:

The photographer asked me not to post the non-watermarked copy I have since he is trying to sell it to a sailing magazine. I would not be surprised to see it in Dr. Crash at the back of Sailing World.

We were back on the boat after a couple of seconds, and it was a nice refresher on that summer day. I still can't believe he caught the shot! Normally, I am bugging my co-owner to hike more, but I'm glad he wasn't hiking too!

Cheers,

jason

Amazing timing by the photographer.  Very cool (except for the hiking strap breaking).

Doesn't look like he needed your puny help.

Seems to be going just fine without you.

Henceforth, it can be called a "Mojito moment"!
