Every August Popup Linkbeach goers and boats come to watch the  Popup Linkboat races or  Popup LinkThunder on the Gulf.  Even the Popup Linkbugs joined in the fun.  I am not sure what  Popup Linkboat the bugs were cheering for but they were having the time of their lives.  Just for protection Popup LinkFire and Rescue along with the Coast Guard were there to help in case of a problem.  I am glad to see that these Popup Linkguys relaxing and having a good time because they work very hard!  The beach was full of people that the Popup Linkchairs at the pool were empty.  On our way home I caught a something Popup Linkpink.

I know that some of the pictures are grainy.  I think this is due to the fact that I was trying to shoot from a distance and didn't have enough zoom to get a perfect ungrainy picture.  Anyway I hope you enjoy.  The race was fun like it is every year.

  • I like the guys resting they deserve it I am sure and also the chairs shot very cool, I think your pictures look pretty good for no zoom. The boats had enough for you Ha Ha dumb joke I know :)

    I do have some zoom on my camera but not as much as I would like to have. I think it has a total of 40x zoom with the digital zoom and optical zoom total. I was pretty far off from the boats though.
